Vocal Wisdom: Maxims of Giovanni Battista Lamperti: 4 (Repertorium Bibliographicum)

As a singing teacher and professional singer - and forever a student, I have purchased hundreds of books over the years about voice, pedagogy, techniques, physiology, acoustics ... this is the most ‘simple’ book I own and yet the best.Cast off any overbearing need for knowledge and drink in the wisdom of this book.Nothing technical - purely holistic psychological and minimal physiological advice from the student of a master teacher.Written in the style of an old pedagog yet published in 2010 so one of the ‘newer’ old resources. It doesn’t specify ‘technique’ in detail but offers points of consideration and re focusses is on the one thing I tell people daily: singing is natural; be ‘aware’ but don’t over think!

Belcanto ist einfach großartig. Man muss allerdings schon viele Vorkenntnisse haben, um aus diesen kryptisch geschriebenen Texte einen Nutzen zu ziehen. Das Englisch ist seltsam veraltet. Es wäre schön, wenn es eine neue, wissenschaftlich überarbeitete Ausgabe gäbe.

An amazing treasure that may need to be read multiple times depending on the level of voice technique and voice knowledge the person has (however learning never ends). A big part of voice production and technique is understanding the sensations your own voice can make and where is made which other singers may have a hard time explaining which is natural because it is complex. This book talks about all of these sensations beautifully and complement the learning of voice technique. Knowing what sensations to feel is so important because it can guide you on your own sensations and help you identify wrongdoing. I will have to say that this book helped me clarify breathing and many other subjects. This book will give you tools to complement your learning journey.

Excelente libro para aprender a encontrar tu voz y cuidarla al cantar, muy rápido el envío y bien empacado. Como dice en la descripción está en inglés.

After over 20 years of studying voice, I am almost at a loss for words to describe this pearl of a book. To the point and in few words it goes straight to the point on many problems that can arrive during a course of a study of voice. Easy to read, takes work to be understood. I can read the same sentence many times over to ponder what it means to me. I am sure it will be beneficial for anyone who decides to take on the work of reading this book. Vocal wisdom is a fitting title.

it is THE Bible for all the singers! really useful for understanding several things in the body. Useful not only for classical but for all kinds of music.
