Settle the Score: Performer's Analysis for the Classical Singer

by Kevin Skelton

For any serious classical musician the score is of primary importance. Though we spend countless hours in the pursuit and practice of technical mastery, these skills ultimately are of little importance if we are unable to express written music accurately and sincerely. Like most books on vocal pedagogy, this book is intended to help singers to meet their full potential. While many books focus on the technical skills associated with how to sing, this book lays a foundation for the practical task of learning vocal music. The system outlined here teaches singers to unite their technique, musicianship, intelligence, and passion so that they can more convincingly perform a composer’s score. www.kevinskelton.com/settlethescore
