5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to a student of classical literature, March 28, 2002

By	Gabriel J. Waddell "justicespokesman" (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The First Book of Tenor Solos (Paperback)

As a student of Joan Boytim's for almost 4 years now, she has imparted to me an almost unabsorbable amount of practical insight in to singing well. This book--and her others for the other vocal ranges--are mere extensions of her teaching expertise. For the serious vocal student as much as for the amateur, or just the person interested in classical literature, these books are wonderful. And cheap--compared to the price of sheet music.
Used all over the world, these books have sold thousands of copies...and for a very good reason. They are the best compilations for the best price. Practical, challenging to the beginner, enlightening, and just great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Book of Tenor Solos, July 16, 2006

By	Pamela A. Moore "lieder singer" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The First Book of Tenor Solos (Paperback)

I have all of Joan Frey Boytim's books in this series:The First Book of: Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Tenor and Bass, The First Book of: Sop., Mezzo, Tenor and Bass, Part II, The Second Book as well as the Second Book, Part II and The First Book of Sop., Mezzo, Tenor and Bass, Part III. They are wonderfully helpful to any voice student. It is possible to get the cd accompaniment to all of the books, too. I encourage anyone who has not used them to get on the 'band wagon' and invest in them.
