The Four Pillars of Singing with Robert Lunte

The Four Pillars of Singing:
Definitive Techniques for The Modern Vocalist
By Robert Lunte

Book, CD and two DVD set

The book itself is a concise reference for necessary information every singer should have. The book is easy to read but not short of information and also has excellent illustrations. "Pillars" does an great job of explaining the general terms and functions used by singers in all genres.

The training videos are priceless. The raw studio footage makes you feel as if you are there. An explanation of each exercise precedes an demonstration by Rob and then another by a student, making it easy to learn by example and to sing along.

Rob clearly understands what it takes to be a great singer and has a unique way of dissecting the disciplines required of training and professional singers.
