So You Want to Sing CCM (Contemporary Commercial Music) by Matthew Hoch

So You Want to Sing CM (Contemporary Commercial Music) presents a compendium of approaches to non-classical singing with an emphasis on vocal technique and function. Over the past twenty years, approaches to singing CM have exploded, resulting in many schools of technique. So You Want to Sing CM is the first book to bring these trademarked methods-such as Estill Voice Training(TM), Somatic Voicework(TM), Complete Vocal Technique(TM), Voiceworks(TM), and the Vocal Power Method(TM)-together in a single volume. So You Want to Sing CM opens the reader to the vast world of contemporary commercial music through the teachings of the world's best-known practicing CM pedagogues. Supplemental chapters by Matthew Edwards, Darren Wicks, and editor Matthew Hoch offer additional commentary on CM history and pedagogy while chapters by Scott McCoy, Wendy LeBorgne, and Matthew Edwards investigate voice science, vocal health, and audio enhancement technology. The So You Want to Sing series is produced in partnership with the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Like all books in the series, So You Want to Sing CM features online supplemental material.

This book is a testament to the pedagogues whose early work and ongoing efforts have made a lasting impact on voice teaching. . . While every book in the So You Want to Sing series has made an important contribution to the available literature in vocal instruction, So You Want to Sing CCM may be the series most significant volume to date. Hoch is to be credited for compiling a volume that shares and compares information from so many of CCM’s most seminal figures. (Brian Manternach, Classical Singer) * Classical Singer Magazine *
