Features: Xi Mu De is a highly reputable singer in the music world, with a captivating voice and effortless performance, maintaining a perfect style throughout. In A Heart Full of Song, the author shares all aspects of singing with non-expert music lovers in simple and direct language from various perspectives, covering topics such as voice, style, and techniques. Singing has brought the author great fulfillment and joy, and performing and teaching singing are her primary interests and work. Over the years, her passion for singing has not diminished, and when discussing this art, she can speak for hours without notes. Her friends, while enjoying her passionate talks, hoped the author would write down these ideas and experiences. A Heart Full of Song is a product of such feelings. Some chapters trace the author's journey of learning to sing, while others are introductions and interviews with singers, post-concert reviews, or discussions on the art and style of singing. Since these pieces were written in response to invitations from Taiwanese newspapers and magazines, some of them are separated by long time gaps and lack a certain continuity. However, due to her personal passion and professional background, these seemingly disorganized writings have a specific theme: the art of singing. The author attempts to share all aspects of singing with non-experts in simple and direct language from various perspectives.
