Overview

CALISTHENICS FOR THE SINGING VOICE

(1) 26 structured scale and interval based exercises repeated (both ascending and

descending) across several overlapping pitch-ranges

female voices d to c'''' ---- male voices D to c'''

(2) over 300 demo and backing-tracks

(3) compatible with any theory and system of voice production and development

(4) integrates vocal fold and sinus tone processes

(5) prepares the voice for any genre of song

(6) very effective for smoothing register transitions

(7) very effective for supporting the treble voice (both male and female) through the inevitable
physiological changes of the teenage years (see case studies)

(8) male voices trained to sing as baritone, tenor, alto and (as appropriate) sopranist

LISTEN to a BASIC EXERCISE

the exercise will then be repeated over 6 pitch ranges in both ascending and descending directions spanning the great staff - also provided are variations which accelerate with each modulation

LISTEN to an ADVANCED EXERCISE

this exercise is a minor key variation of the basic exercise - a real test of intonation - this exercise also accelerates with each modulation

STOP PRESS
I am looking for aspiring singers willing to try this system and have their progress monitored by video or MP3 recordings as part of a post-graduate research project. I am especially interested in working with those who feel their voice is not quite what it should or could be. There will be a small charge (about the cost of one lesson) for the materials (self-contained CDrom plus MP3 Files) but further consultations to monitor progress by e-mail or telephone/skype would be free. The project will run for about 6 months but the exercise system will provide you with a basis for developing the voice for years. Please register your interest through the contact page. (but participation in this is not a rquirement for purchasing the system)
