4.0 out of 5 stars
recommended for voice students,
By Kristine (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Singing Book (Spiral-bound)
The Singing Book has proven to be a wonderful resource for learning a selection of popular songs across several genres. Along with the accompanying CD, this compilation provides sheet music and accompaniment, both providing the melody line to facilitate learning songs more easily. The volume also provides background descriptions of the songs which help foster an appreciation for the styles and origins of the music. Some technical notes about singing are also included as appendices to guide learning. I have used this book/CD in combination with formal vocal instruction, albeit it would be suitable for stand-alone use, particularly for those who desire an accessible format for learning songs and developing an appreciation of their own voices. Of note also are those pieces intended for improvisation that encourage one to simply explore one's voice. Finally, some of the arrangements themselves are stellar pieces of music and I have used them for performance, notably Westryn Wynde and Dance of Youth (arranged by Scarlett Antaloczy).

Best new book for individuals and classes,
By Aimee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Singing Book (Spiral-bound)
I use this book for both my individual students and for my group voice classes. As a teacher I love that it covers a wide range of topics and technical information; As a singer I appreciate the variety of song styles and the quantity of songs available in this one volume.
The CD's are also a wonderful tool. Having live insturments (as opposed to synthesized instruments) on the accompaniment CD is invaluable, especially for my students who are just learning to play piano. I recommend this book to singers of all ages. It is a great tool to use while learning to sing and contains up-to-date concepts regarding vocal health, technique, and care. This book is a necessary addition to any music library. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

You want to get the CD's,
By H. Lavender - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Singing Book (Spiral-bound)
This is a fantastic book. There are two CD's that are made to go with it. To get the most use of this, you really want to get the CD's.
