Stephen was my first Qi Gong teacher in the Open Center (NY NY); very practical manual

I thought this book is a very practical, easy and reliable source for the usage of the voice in a healthy and easy-to-read way. I would especially recommend it for new singers or singers who have questions around what they understand as 'good vocal' technique.

What might this book hold for me? Would it provide rewarding experiences for my singing practices? I am curious, but not yet sure...
