Recenzii
This book gives young artists the context to fully appreciate and understand the genre of hip-hop and the tools to take it to exciting new places. I'm grateful to have been part of the process.
Melissa L. Foster meticulously unravels the past five decades, offering readers deeper insight into the diverse styles encompassed within the realm of hip-hop. Her technical drills target the specific needs of these artists in a way that is accessible and grounded in vocal function. American popular music is rooted in Black American music, and it is way past time for our industry to recognize the impact of hip-hop on American society and culture. This book is essential reading for artists seeking to enhance their grasp of this art form and for educators aiming to become more effective mentors to 21st-century artists.
Melissa L. Foster has successfully created a 'How to Understand and Execute Hip-Hop Music for Dummies' with Don't Sweat the Technique. It really is an embarrassment of riches for students, teachers, and performers alike.
This bookis a masterful examination of not only the deep roots of hip-hop and rap, but also it includes very detailed, easy-to-follow technical guidelines for the performance of these genres. I am deeply appreciative of Foster's willingness to pose complex questions about authenticity and her encouragement for readers to discover for themselves where they stand on some difficult subjects. The book is a fantastic guide for any level of artist or teacher who is interested in exploring and celebrating the roots of so much of our music today
Foster generously welcomes all to the collision of history, culture, and art forms that is hip-hop and lifts up voices of its key artists. This book will inspire performers and teachers to seek a more respectful, authentic approach.
This book is a rarity, covering the historical genesis of hip-hop, rap, and other popular vocal genres. Melissa L. Foster has created a user's guide to the delivery of the most contemporary vocal genres-a "how to" manual of rapping with fabulous vocal techniques and advice.
Early hip-hop artists who were pioneering a new form of musical expression provided foundations upon which generations of artists have made their own contributions. In the same way, Don't Sweat the Technique stands to inspire both performers and pedagogues to delve into a style of singing that, while immensely popular, has been underexplored in the vocal literature thus far.
