music. So You Want to Sing Folk Music is no exception. The author
is experienced and knowledgeable about the genre, and she
identifies the characteristics and demands of folk music. Singers
who are interested in singing this repertoire will benefit from
reading this volume.
*Journal of Singing*
[The book]'s central chapters provide a no-nonsense and
non-patronising guide to the "vocal nitty-gritty". . . In the
process of doing so, Mindel. . . also usefully invites the reader.
. . to reflect on issues that can all too easily get forgotten or
overlooked. . . . [the book] presents a genuinely useful compendium
of information and advice from which the already experienced and
confident singer is likely to learn plenty.
