" Colleen Philp's practical guide to the Bel Canto technique will help singers, drama students, singing and drama teachers, choir conductors, and students who are studying methods of teaching, to learn how to use or teach the Bel Canto technique of singing and how to keep their voices safe from vocal misuse and abuse. Her Anecdotes from Africa add delightful insights into her life as a teacher of Voice in South Africa, and her warm, lasting relationships with her students. It could be placed in libraries at schools and universities all over the world because, although there are many books on Bel Canto, there are not many, if any, on HOW TO TEACH in the Bel Canto tradition. Teaching singing is difficult because one is dealing not only with the technique involved, but also with any physical impairments, as well as the psychological approach of the singer. This is the first book to contain the material in Chapters 4 to 7, which cover passagio, tips from famous singers and voice teachers, vocal abuse and misuse, and correcting vocal defects. "
