Synopsis

The Essentials of CoreSinging: A Joyful Approach to Singing and Voice Pedagogy presents an innovative outlook by one of the most important voice pedagogues in modern times. CoreSinging, developed by Meribeth Dayme, offers a universal approach applicable and complementary to any style, system, or level of singing-the ultimate result transforms fear into joy and ease. For the first time, Cynthia Vaughn and Matthew Hoch have compiled and edited this culminating work of Meribeth Dayme. CoreSinging is formed on five elements present in all stages of singing from beginner to professional: energy, awareness, imagination, practice, and performance. Concepts of energy-physical, metaphysical, mental, emotional, psychological, psychic, and spiritual-help singers transform themselves, their sound, and performance into an experience of healing. Contributors offer case studies and targeted strategies for further implementation and select writings of Dayme are also included.
