As an opera singer who has been training for over 12 years in overseas and back home. I have never met any teachers or collegues that don't know about this book. This book has more or less become our vocal "Bible", suitable not only for the advanced classical singers, but perhaps even more suitable for the beginners. Despite the fact that similar editions from other publishers of these songs are readily available, I still think this edition reigns supreme.

The songs chosen in this book, in various levels of difficulty, are great as teaching materials, as well as performance materials for recitals and exams, etc. In my teaching experience, I find that every singer finds something in these songs that can improve their singing voice, maybe because I think it teaches them so much about the rudiment of legato(smooth) singing.

For anyone wishing to take singing lessons, particularly that of Classical singing, this book is a MUST-HAVE in their music library! I will be very surprised if a Classical singing teacher do not ever use or recommend this book for lessons at some stage. Learn all the songs (at your own pace) and you won't be sorry that you did :-) VIVA LA MUSICA!

This is a great product is great and the provider is even better! This is great for beginning vocal students! Great product stellar service!

This book has excellent song choices. It starts out with Per la Gloria D'adorarvi, which, believe it or not, is quite catchy for an aria. A lot of the arias found in the book can also be found sung by professionals on youtube. The CD accompaniment is also great if you don't want to accompany yourself or have someone to play for you. It is overall, an excellent collection of songs great for practice and performance.

Schirmer is always reliable. The music is easy to read, good quality binding and paper means it will last a long time.

This book is wonderful for those interested in singing classical Italian songs. I use it often in my vocal lessons, finding it very interesting. This book includes songs that every singer should have on his (or her) repetoire: "Tu Lo Sai", "Caro Mio Bien", and "Amarilli, Mia Bella". Enjoy!

Great songs... I personally love singing in Italian. Every voice teacher I have taken from has also recommended this book.
