Great Singers

An Endangered Species

Denes Striny

This book supplies detailed explanations for young singers, teachers, and professional singers with "troubled" voices. Striny's previous book, Head First, discussed this process but without specific instructions to accomplish the task. This completely original process was conceived by Striny to correct major problems in his voice that had been caused by two separate voice teachers. The content of the process and the suggested duration of time duplicate exactly what his self-study called for in both cases.
Readers will feel in tune with a philosophy generated through this endeavor, which cements self-confidence and self-esteem with the attained accomplishments. It permits you to do your tasks without overt manipulation.

Remarkable, everything [Striny] write[s] on the Head Voice is interesting and good.
— Christa Ludwig, international opera legend


Striny has been my teacher for over fourteen years, and his incredible teaching has been invaluable in my success performing roles from the bel canto to Berio.
— Lauren Flanigan, The thinking man's diva, Newsweek


Always engaging, clearly expressed, and well-phrased —- a reader wants to read on. You have much to be proud of.
— Peter G. Davis, music critic, New York Magazine


Passionate and direct. Vocal students and teachers will have much to chew on, and even part-time opera fans will find food for thought.
— Joseph Dalton; Albany Times Union, (4/1/07)


Striny neatly encapsulates his directives for singing in three short pages of exercises…The exercises, and Striny's directions, are excellent.
— Debra Greschner; Journal of Singing , (December 2007), The Official Journ


WOW! I must say that you have done a fabulous job…A great piece of work.
— Birgit Nilsson, international opera legend


I am so excited by the principles that Mr. Striny puts forth in his book…that I have incorporated them into my own teaching and recommend his book to everyone.
— Carmen Balthrop, chair, voice/opera division, University of Maryland


I am impressed with the clarity of his thoughts and the wisdom of his ideas. His book is an important addition to the field of vocal pedagogy, and it is especially timely today when the art of good singing is limited to so few people…
— Michael Cordovana, Dallas Opera, retired
