Abstract
Hoch, Matthew. A Dictionary for the Modern Singer. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2014. Cloth, xii, 306 pp., $75.00. ISBN 978-0-8108-8655-1; e-book, $74.99. ISBN 978-0-8108-8656-8 www.rowman.comThis dictionary is the first in a series of reference books by Scarecrow Press intended, according the publisher, to fully cover the field of study and performance for the contemporary musician.

Sixty black and white illustrations include photographs of singers, anatomic drawings, audio graphs, and music examples.In addition the dictionary, the volume includes essays by five authors on relevant topics. In the first, Jeannette LoVetri, founder of the Somatic Voicework method, contrasts classical and contemporary commercial music (CCM).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
