Contemporary instrumental and vocal techniques
The music of the 20th and 21st centuries demands a notably larger spectrum of playing and singing abilities than traditional literature. This series provides a wealth of practical information by describing these contemporary techniques in detail, by including many examples and using charts, by giving practice tips, and by demonstrating the techniques on CDs. These books are equally valuable to performers, conductors, and composers.
