C’è qualcosa nello studio dello strumento voce che è indicibile, ineffabile. È invisibile, eppure è proprio l’aspetto più importante, quello che davvero fa la differenza. Ma se è indicibile e ineffabile come raccontarlo? L’autrice suggerisce un percorso di consapevolezza e ascolto fine senza il quale lo studio della tecnica vocale diventa solo ginnastica. Quello che non si vede e non potrà mai essere scritto su una partitura diventa la strada che ci riporta a casa, a riscoprire, attraverso uno scavo archeologico interiore, quello che abbiamo perduto, la nostra voce più vera.

En este libro, te guiaré a través de la teoría antes de profundizar en el juego. Te enseñaré cómo tocar una partitura y, cuando termines, podrás recoger una pieza de música y saber cómo se supone que se debe tocar. Naturalmente, esto es muy diferente de cómo se juega. No te convertirás en un maestro ni nada, pero entenderás cómo se toca el instrumento y podrás tocar algunas canciones pegadizas tú mismo.Si eso te parece cautivador, ¡vamos a sumergirnos!

A valorizzare le differenze e creare sintonie. Ad affrontare incertezze e imprevisti con sangue freddo e un pizzico di follia. A superare i dubbi e gli stereotipi, a ignorare le sirene del successo fine a se stesso.
