Endorsements for Kinesthetic Voice Pedagogy

In the voice teaching and voice science communities, the gulf between what is true and what is helpful often appears impossible to bridge. Kenneth Bozeman is that rare teacher who can distill complex material into a usable framework for voice teachers. Taking nothing away from centuries of tradition, Bozeman uses his holistic knowledge of acoustics, resonance, and (false) kinesthesia to help us notice important patterns of behavior in the singing voice. His work doesn’t just stimulate the mind; it will make you a better teacher in a remarkably short period of time.

Kenneth Bozeman does a remarkable job of making voice science understandable and accessible to every student and voice teacher.  In Kinesthetic Voice Pedagogy, Mr. Bozeman makes clear that the innate response of the body to express is the foundation for ideal Western classical singing, and uses today’s technology to back his argument.  No longer do voice scientists and the masters of Italian bel canto have to fight over how to teach.  Kenneth Bozeman has married the two beautifully.

In Kinesthetic Voice Pedagogy, Kenneth Bozeman masterfully connects science and tradition. His detailed discussions on vocal tract mapping combined with the latest science behind harmonics, formant tuning, and vowel perception theory are significant contributions to the literature on fact based pedagogy. Most importantly, Bozeman details how to teach these concepts using physiological, kinesthetic, and visual approaches. This book is a must read for the 21st century teacher!
