The Modern Singing Master : Essays in Honor of Cornelius L. Reid

A compilation of essays written by renowned singing teachers as their testament to their great singing instructor, who enabled them to truly understand how to sing and how to teach it to their students.

The essays explain the four basic principles with which he works: the two-register theory, the necessity for pure vowels, the use of rhythm to encourage the muscles to react spontaneously, and the choice of dynamic.

His research and interpretations have given birth to a new era of voice and pedagogy known as Functional Voice Training.
