Coffin's Overtones of Bel Canto

Rating:
Summary: Amazing
Review: After studting Mr. Coffins technique for over a year, I am amazed at the difference it has made in my range, tonal quality, and overall ease of singing. A bit difficult to just dive into, the book is perhaps best approached with the assistance of one who knows it well. All singers should be trained this way!

Summary: I studied personally with Dr. Coffin
Review: Dr. Coffin took my broken voice (caused by incorrect teaching by former teachers), put it back together within my 2 years graduate study with him, and added an octave to my upper range. I enjoyed 30 years as a professional singer and am still singing well at age 65. My private voice students voices are developed quickly and remarkably using Dr. Coffin's exercises. I can't recommend this book enough. One must learn the International Phonetic Alphabet and apply it in the exercises and the book can be quite technical, but years of application in my voice as well as my students has me completely sold on it's merits. This book is for the serious voice student who is willing to work at his/her craft.
