A MUST FOR THE DEVELOPING VOICE,
By Patrick A Anderson (Nampa, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium Low Voice, Book & CD (Paperback)
This book is an absolute must have for any singers repertoire. With arias ranging from simple to complex, it is a great stepping stone in building the classical voice. The songs can be used as starters for the more amateur singer or as recital/competition pieces for those with more experience. Every serious student and private teacher should have a copy on hand.

Good book for Voice students and College voice majors,
By A Customer
This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium Low Voice, Book & CD (Paperback)
I used this as my textbook for my Intermediate Voice class at Fullerton College. THe class was intended for voice majors or non advance non majors. I really like the book and I think that it works for beginners through advanced singer who want to learn classical vocal technique and vocal literature. This is an update version of the old Schrimer edition which I bough during my high school vocal lessons to prepare me to be a college voice major. I like the book becuase of its composer backround information and backround on where the arias came from. It also has a singable translation of the Italian text and a literal translation of the text. I also like the convience of the piano accompaniment CD because it is a useful practic aid. I also find the CD helpful becuase I am not yet have the piano skills high enough to accompany my self. I also like the book's IPA transcription and the guide to Italian pronunciation. I liekt his book better than the Schirmer edition becuase it is more useful for self study and is more accurate then the Schirmer becusae it comes from the authentic sources.This is must have book for any clasical vocalist or college or high school voice student.

This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium Low Voice, Book & CD (Paperback)
It is nice to be able to listen to the music too. Works as an accompaniment too. Helps if you don't play an instrument.
