Title: ADVENTURES IN SINGING-W/2 CDS

McGraw-Hill Publishing Company

<p>Review      Ware's writing style is straightforward and frank, and he strikes an excellent balance between erudition and practicality. He moves easily from esoteric topics to eminently matter-of-fact subjects, from the Socratic method of self-knowledge to the importance of securing health insurance. The text is full of specifics: thoughts on exchanging gifts with students, the necessity of professional honesty in dealing with students, and observations on aging, to name only a few. The Singer's Life is a thought-provoking treatise, and is recommended reading for both singers and singing teachers. - Debra Greschner, Journal of Singing (January/February 2006) --Debra Greschner, Journal of Singing (January/February 2006)      About the Author      Dr. Clifton Ware is Professor of Vocal Pedagogy and Pedagogy Chair of the Schuessler Vocal Arts Center at the University of Minnesota. He has performed as tenor soloist with more than sixty major music organizations in North America and Europe in a repertoire that includes fifty-three opera, operetta, and musical theater roles, seventy-six major works with orchestra and chorus, more than twenty solo recitals, and several chamber music recitals. Ware can be heard in recordings of Benjamin Britten s St. Nicolas (MHS) and Paul Bunyan (Virgin Records), and Vocal Explorations: The Bad, the Good, and the Other, featuring all original material. Dr. Ware has written two prominent textbooks on singing: Adventures in Singing (3rd edition, McGraw-Hill, 2004), an introductory text/song anthology with recorded piano accompaniments; and Basics of Vocal Pedagogy (McGraw-Hill, 1998).
