Thank you! <strong><em>Facebook user</em></strong></p><p><em>Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults </em>is an exciting new book which I am certain will become a really useful and comprehensive reference guide for all those wishing to lead singing.<em> </em><strong><em>Howard Goodall CBE, </em></strong><em>Composer and Broadcaster</em></p><p>'The indispensable bible for the many singing teachers who work with 'children and young adults'... it is difficult to over-emphasise the significance which I think this book has for the future of our young singers. The combination of long and thoughtful practical experience with an enquiring mind and formidable research knowledge has resulted in a remarkable treatise on the subject.'<em> <strong>Singing: </strong></em><strong><em> Voice of the Association of Teachers of Singing</em></strong></p><p>'You have done something spectacularly good and I heartily congratulate you. Not only do you write such palpable sense throughout, but your style is eminently readable, and clear as crystal.' <strong> <em>Singing Teacher, Royal College of Music, London</em></strong></p><p>'What a great book! So much of this text resonates with all the other areas of my musical life, and I find myself almost exclaiming out loud with agreement. The book is so beautifully and clearly written, and I love the illustrations; it is, in essence, invaluable'. <strong><em>Music Teacher</em></strong></p><p>'I can't believe I've survived this long without it, it should be compulsory for every Cathedral organist in the land!' <strong><em>Director of Music, Magdalen College, Oxford</em></strong></p><p>'This book is a must have for any teacher working with an adolescent voice. Dr Jenevora is a leading expert in this field and is constantly researching. I believe she has a second book in the making too. I have recently completed the first year of a Master's degree where she is one of the teachers on the course. I cannot recommend this book enough. <strong><em>Sophie (Amazon reviewer)</em></strong></p><p>'A well-conceived, well-written book, perfect for all involved with training young voices. Whether working in a classroom, choir or private teaching studio, there will be sections of this book which will re-enforce teachers' own ideas about vocal training, while at the same time, Jenevora Williams manages to de-bunk the many myths that have evolved over time. The comparison of voices at different ages, along with all the references to the wealth of research is so valuable. The technical/physiological sections are clear and incredibly well-explained, and the exercises have very well-defined outcomes.... My colleagues at school have all found the book very informative, particularly when dealing with changing voices in both boys and girls. I would heartily recommend the book to anyone involved in working with young voices at any level. <strong><em>Oliver Neal Parker, Head of Singing, Uppingham School, Rutland (Amazon reviewer)</em></strong></p><br>
