Описание: In Staging Scenes from the Operas of Mozart: A Guide for Teachers and Singers, opera director William Ferrara offers the perfect resource for the dramatic preparation of opera scenes for directors and student performers. Topics include study and research, rehearsal planning, blocking, characterization, and costuming for four of Mozart's most popular operas. He surveys basic concepts of opera acting and directing and provides a step-by-step guide to the rehearsal process. While much has appeared on the history and musical performance practice of the operas of Mozart, no guide to the directing and acting of his operas--with simple, concise staging instructions and practical information concerning casting, props, and costumes--has yet seen publication. Featuring over one hundred illustrations, including costume designs by Martha Ferrara, the author breaks new ground for student performers and directors alike, as he walks readers through the process of staging scenes from Mozart's operas. The first part of the guide, which focuses on study and preparation, comprisess five chapters: ideas for organizing the opera class, a description of the job of the director, a step-by-step review of the rehearsal process, a set of five exercises for researching and analyzing the scenes, and a vocabulary for actors and directors. The next four sections of the book consist of detailed staging guides for a selection of scenes from Mozart's most frequently performed operas: Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cos fan tutte, and Die Zauberfl te. The introduction to each scene includes a brief discussion of the story and characters, suggestions for costuming, and minimal set and props. The heart of this guide is the text and translation of each scene, embedded with line-by-line acting notes, and blocking directions and diagrams. These are for use by the actors during speaking and blocking rehearsals and are especially valuable when rehearsing recitatives. Intended for college and university voice teachers seeking guidance for developing a scenes program or opera workshop class, this is also the perfect workbook for students studying opera stage direction, as well as graduate and undergraduate students performing opera scenes by Mozart.
Описание: Secrets of Performing Confidence covers the majority of practical performing and psychological issues that concern performers in an accessible and practical way.
"Singing An Extensive Handbook for All Singers and Their Teachers," has been written for anybody who is interested in singing, particularly those who teach it. It also contains information which will be useful to instrumental teachers. It is designed to help all teachers to improve the aural and technical singing skills of their students, even if they are not first-study singers. Singing, after all, is at the heart of all aural work and musicianship.
There is much in this book to assist conductors of choral societies, music directors, and indeed anyone who works with singers, of whatever age and in whatever musical style. Moreover, singers who have progressed beyond a basic level will gain by using this book as a companion for their on-going development.
There is a simplified outline of the basics of singing in "The Fast Track" section. This will help you to become acquainted with the general principles which are treated in more detail in the other sections.
The book is structured so that the section "The Essential Anatomy" underpins those on "Training the Singing Voice", "Making Music" and "Performance". The nature of the anatomy section means that there is a lot of information presented, which could be difficult to assimilate all at once. Please think of it as a reference section, which can be either read all at once, or dipped into as required, so that the broader picture emerges over time.
"The Developing Voice" section is especially relevant for teachers training young adolescents through those years of marked vocal change. The "Making Music" section shows how to put the anatomy and training all together to prepare for a performance. This section also contains advice on choice of repertoire and how to build different styles of repertoire into the voice.
In the "Performance" and "The Psychology of Singing" sections you will find advice on the many small steps which lead to a successful performance, bringing motivation, healthy practice and personal fulfilment together to create a fuller picture.
General advice on understanding the root causes of vocal difficulties is given in the section on "Troubleshooting", along with some methods of resolving them. More detailed exercises to resolve difficulties are to be found in "Training the Singing Voice".
The broader issues of musicianship are covered in the section "Practical Singing for all Musicians", such as the role of examinations, aural training and the benefit of working in groups. The "Further Development" section offers advice on how to take singing into a more advanced field of study or performance.
Above all, the intention of this book is to present singing as a pleasurable activity, which, at its best, combines the physical, creative and emotional aspects of human expression.
