"Elliott's self-styled 'handbook' will be an asset to teachers and students in voice programs that emphasize versatility and comfort with a wide range of repertoire. Opera students will find useful information here on portamento, transposition, breathing and dynamic markings."--Judith Malafronte, Opera News Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2006 by Choice Magazine "This is just the kind of book I wish I'd had access to when I was a student, but I am still ever so grateful to benefit from it now. It is thorough, thoughtful, inclusive, and a real joy to read. I know I'll be referring to Singing In Style frequently in the years to come . not to mention recommending it to countless others."--Dawn Upshaw, soprano " Singing in Style opens the door for singers to a better understanding of how to put more thought into their performances of the past four hundred years of song. In some cases, Elliott raises useful questions herself; then she gives us tools and resources for finding the answers.

I wish such a book had been available when I was a student."--Drew Minter, countertenor "Full of information which enlightens our interpretive choices, Singing In Style is a most welcome resource and a must read for our profession."--Lucy Shelton, soprano "A very important addition to the field. I recommend it to students and teachers."--Paul Sperry, Manhattan School of Music "An indispensable guide for singers, pianists and teachers. Written from a singer's viewpoint, Singing in Style raises a host of important issues, addressing them with clarity and insight."--Brian Zeger, Artistic Director of Vocal Arts, Juilliard School.
