The writing on the wall: musical markings, repeat structures, and other score "road maps" (Be Italian: tempo marking ; Loud: dynamic and articulation markings ; Stop, time: pauses and held notes ; Speak low: other expressive markings and spoken text ; Back to before: repeats, D.C., D.S., and codas ; Ah, but underneath: underscoring and vamps ; On the street where you live: rehearsal numbers and letters ; Do it again: AABA form and other song structures) -- 15.

I've got your number: intervals and scale degrees (Go the distance: basic interval sizes and names ; Home: the tonic and scale degrees ; Do-re-mi: the Kodály method) -- 7. You do something to me: accidentals, key signatures and transposition (I am changing: accidentals and the black keys of the piano ; Ring of keys: the major scale, key signatures and the circle of fifths ; They just keep moving the line: transposing songs) -- 8.

Wilkommen (A little brains, a little talent: the ingredients for a career ; Racing with the clock: how to make the most of your rehearsal time ; Side by side: an artistic collaboration with the writer ; The sound of music: the elements of musical notation ; What more do I need: required tools of the trade) -- 2. I got rhythm: fundamentals (The rhythm of life: how we divide time ; You can't stop the beat: first definitions, quarter notes ; Just in time: time signatures, note shapes ; The speed test: metronomes and their use ; Breathe: rests) -- 3. In short: smaller note values (Tonight at eight: the eighth note ; We go together: beams ; A little bit off: off-beats and "ands" ; I'm old fashioned: vocal notation in older scores ; Pretty little picture: musical "words" and syncopation ; Small world: the sixteenth note) -- 4. Hold on: ties and dots (Married: ties ; Stay with me: dots).Singers and actors who can learn music quickly and accurately have an enormous advantage in today's increasingly competitive field. Award-winning composer and music director Andrew Gerle has written a music theory text especially for singers, focused exclusively on topics and techniques that will help them in the rehearsal room and on stage. Gerle leads readers step by step through every aspect of written music, using over one hundred real-world examples from Broadway scores. His common-sense, methodical approach demystifies abstract concepts, and his unique 1-STARRT method teaches singers to read musical "words" instead of single notes, enabling confident sight-singing of any score. Drawing on his years of experience as a Broadway vocal coach, Gerle also shows readers how to use music theory to think like a composer, analyzing scores for dramatic clues to create a more detailed and powerful performance. Each chapter is accompanied by downloadable audio examples and exercises to lock in newly learned concepts. - Provided by publisher.
