Singing and the Etheric Tone

Singing and the Etheric Tone introduces a practical, joyful approach to singing that draws its strength and inspiration from Gracia Ricardo's work with Rudolf Steiner.

Chapter 1 deals with the tone, the onset of the tone, the humming approach, and the relations between vowels, consonants, words, and phrases.

Chapter 2 goes into the voice, how to build a voice and extend its range.

Chapter 3 develops the idea of blending the vocal registers, the placement of the voice, embellishments, resonance, and diction.

Finally, the book moves on to some professional tips on choosing a program, stage fright, mood, presence, an more. This is an invaluable book for any singer, professional or not, who wants to improve singing abilities based on working with the whole body--the spirit, the soul, and the physical organism.

About the Author
Winter, Dina Soresi: -

Dina Soresi Winter has led a life filled with music, art, theater, education, and a love of Dante. At the age of fourteen, she discovered opera and never recovered from it. After seeing her first opera, La Traviata, at the old Metropolitan Opera in New York City, she began studies with Francesca Pasella, an Italian maestra in the Bronx. Under Ms. Pasella's tutelage, she won several singing awards, one of which took her to Italy, where she made her debut as Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana. She was the first twentieth-century "Maria Stuarda" and sang leading roles in major theaters in Germany, Italy, and Holland.
