Reviews for On the Art of Singing
The content of the book is commendable, useful and illustrated with plenty of amusing anecdotes.
Elin Harries, Music Teacher, May 1997
Richard Miller's eminence as a vocal pedagogue, is securely rooted in considerable performance experience, masterful teaching and extensive scientific research. Everything presented in this book is excellent, thoroughly researched and practised material. It should be required reading for every singer and teacher. This book is a compendium of authoritative. justified and distilled wisdom. Those of us who have sat humbly at the feet of the master are able to hear his voice clearly speaking and demonstrating throughout this text. Written by a cultured and refined teacher/artist and writer, this is the soundest and liveliest book on vocal pedagogy published recently.

On the Art of Singing is undoubtedly a labour of love, the fruit of years of dedicated training of voices.
