Singing For Dummies 2nd Edition - Book with audio CD-ROM,

Singing For Dummies, 2nd Edition, helps readers not only develop their innate singing skills, but also take their singing to the next level.

Singing For Dummies, 2nd Edition, provides the reader with not only a detailed introduction to singing, but also information on reading music, singing with an instrument, and vocal exercises. Singing For Dummies presents the reader with the information needed to learn the basics in singing and improve one's skills: how to sing with power, singing with an instrument, finding your range, diction, and lots of singing exercises and practice opportunities.


The revised edition includes 25 percent new and updated material, including details on belting (defined by some as "yelling on key," a common practice that raises concerns about ruining the singer's voice), singing and sitting (including singing with an instrument and learning how this change in posture and breathing affects the voice), as well as new CD tracks to keep the musical exercises up to date and relevant.
