Finding Balance between Music and Life

From the psychological to the practical, the serious challenges and issues that can affect a singer's performance are explored in this groundbreaking book. Author Lynn Eustis, herself a professional signer and voice instructor, argues that the daily psychological conflicts that make up a singer's world can have profound implications for both the singer and the teacher. The book is divided into two parts: The Inner World, which discusses all of the emotional and personal issues involved with singing, and The Outer World, which addresses questions of public perception and performance. The end of each chapter includes a section for further exploration that is filled with introspective exercises. This book is a valuable addition to the libraries of singers, conductors, and teachers of singing at all levels.

A Guide for Singers, Book and CD

Gateway to Italian Diction opens a path for aspiring singers to reach the goal of sounding authentically Italian in their singing. Beginning with a basic understanding of what diction is, Gateway to Italian Diction leads step by step to a full comman of the intricacies of the language, including: what to do when spelling does not reveal pronunciation; how to sing double consonants; which vowel to extend when two or more vowels are on one note. A key concept underlying of all of the books in the Gateway series is: Understanding what you sing. Every Italian example word or phrase is translated into English; singers never need to practice lists of words without understanding them. Each sound of the Italian language is explained: how it is produced, the ways it is spelled, how it combines with other sounds in diphthongs or consonant clusters, and the pitfalls it presents to a singer. Each sound is exemplified in a phrase chosen from Gateway to Italian Art Songs, a companion anthology. -- from back cover.

This helpful guide will give you a great grasp of: Note value and counting notes Treble and bass clefs Time signatures and measures Naturalizing the rhythm Tempo and dynamic Tone, color, and harmonics Half steps and whole steps Harmonic and melodic intervals Key signatures and circles of fifths Scales, chords, and their progressions Elements of form Music theory’s fascinating history This friendly guide not only explores these concepts, it provides examples of music to compliment them so you can hear how they sound firsthand.

Cultivate the Confidence, Boundaries, and Know-How to Upgrade Your Life

New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits--breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before. Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.

Dirt, Envy, Sex, Vulnerability

From the author of the acclaimed Against Love comes a pointed, audacious, and witty examination of the state of the female psyche in the post-post-feminist world of the twenty-first century. Women remain caught between feminism and femininity, between self-affirmation and an endless quest for self-improvement, between playing an injured party and claiming independence. Rather than blaming the usual suspects—men, the media—Kipnis takes a hard look at culprits closer to home, namely women themselves. Kipnis serves up the gory details of the mutual displeasure between men and women in painfully hilarious detail. Is anatomy destiny after all? An ambitious and original reassessment of feminism and women’s ambivalence about it, The Female Thing breathes provocative new life into that age-old question.

Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now

Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are a second adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what is actually the most defining decade of adulthood. Drawing from a decade of work with hundreds of twentysomething clients and students, THE DEFINING DECADE weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood-if we use the time wisely. THE DEFINING DECADE is a smart, compassionate and constructive book about the years we cannot afford to miss.

Tools to Take You to the Top

"From one of the country's most beloved authorities on etiquette, with help from her world-famous granddaughter, Liv Tyler, this is a colorful guide to 21st-century manners for the millions of young professionals who want to be their best in every setting, from business meetings to casual events or when using technology."

"Etiquette means knowing how to behave in any situation. The reason that's important? Because it puts everyone at ease, including the person practicing it. Dorothea Johnson, founder of the Protocol School of Washington, proves that learning the rules can actually be fun. Her keenly observed advice addresses modern quandaries of cellphone and email etiquette as well as the traditional conundrums of making introductions and identifying a four-course place setting. Throughout, her granddaughter, actress Liv Tyler, shares lively memories of learning good manners with her grandmother's help, and stories of how those lessons benefit her today."
