The Singing Teacher’s Guide to Transgender Voices

The Singing Teacher’s Guide to Transgender Voices is designed as a resource to support teachers of singing through their growing understanding of “gender as a construct, a fallacy used to categorize whole humans into separable parts” (xv). Divided into three main parts (The Person, The Voice, and The Experience), the authors present helpful information on the basics of transgender identity and considerations for working with voices in/through transition. With teachers of singing in mind, the authors move relatively quickly through applications of the concepts presented with the expectation that their readers will know which exercises to use from their own toolkits. As experts in the fields of music and transgender voice, the authors provide extremely valuable details for the reader. Dispersed throughout the text are case studies and anecdotes from the authors’ experiences working with transgender individuals. These additions elevate this text from a theoretical perspective to an experiential one.
