BAD SINGER

Tim Falconer

The Surprising Science of Tone Deafness and How We Hear Music

In the tradition of Daniel Levitin's This Is Your Brain on Music and Oliver Sacks' Musicophilia, Bad Singer follows the delightful journey of Tim Falconer as he tries to overcome tone deafness - and along the way discovers what we're really hearing when we listen to music.

Based on "Face the Music," a National Magazine Award-winning feature, BAD SINGER is much more than the story of the author's sometimes-humiliating attempt to sing in tune. It's also about what we hear when we listen to music and why singing is so important to us. An entertaining mash-up of science and culture, this book is for everyone who sings - badly or not.
