"I liked the many exercises for a particular vowel and precise changes of vowel with the same set of consonants. Clarity and variety of consonants are covered. Range, articulation, flexibility, breath management, rhythm, intonation, dynamics, expression, interpretation and more are covered, and the pieces (one every 8 weeks) are combined with useful practice tips […]The more I looked at this book, the more I warmed to it for its thoroughness and accessibility." - Rachel Sherry, Association of Teachers of Singing
