Unlocking Your Voice by Esther Salaman
This second edition of Esther Salaman's acclaimed book comes with added ideas and exercises. The message though is still the same: singing at all stages and the personality behind the voice - the aspirations, fears and courage we need to explore our invisible instrument. The book covers every aspect of voice production and the author's appreciation of the Bel Cantists underlies all her work. She gives a detailed plan for vocal health, as well as technical exercises in the form of musical examples. Singers of all ages, teachers and choir trainers will find it immensley helpful. The book included an analysis of Schubert's 'An die Musik'.
'You make statement after statement which please and flatter my own comprehension of the art of singingI hope that you have lots of readers who heed your words.' - Dame Joan Sutherland; 'Esther Salaman encapsulates very pithily the basis of her teaching methods, and I feel sure this book will be welcomed, by singers and teachers alike, for its directness and sound common-sense' - Sir Mark Elder
Esther Salaman was an inspired teacher of singing and of singers. She confessed to having been 'a singer in constant technical difficulty - only resolved in later life'. These problems and their resolution were the key to her success as a teacher. Having studied at the Royal Academy of Music, she toured internationally as a professional mezzo-soprano. She became a consultant to the National Opera Studio, the English National Opera, and a visiting professor at Trinity College of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She ran masterclasses at the Dartington and Marlborough summer schools and worked with such outstanding artists as Willard White, Ian Bostridge and Dennis O'Neill.
