As an alto going on bass, I was always getting in trouble with my voice teacher and accompianist for bringing in songs that were too high, luckily, I found this book. It's wonderful to be able to sing a song that's low enough to be comfortable!

The songs in the book seem to be extremely low, however...a lot of girls will find it difficult to go that low, however, I'd highly reccomend this book for second-altos looking for pieces in low keys.

Great musical arrangements! Easy to sing but with an extra something. The book is for really low voice (contralto) so I would not recomend this to a medium low singer.

Finally I have found a book of marvelous songs for my low alto voice. What a find, simply exciting to have beautiful songs in my key. The range is excellent, I love this book, where have I been, not knowing about it!! No more trying to find someone who transposes, and no more rewriting the "too high" notes. I am so pleased. Thanks.

I split my time in class between classical and jazz. I have a 4-octave range, but, at the end of the day, I look for low jazz/torch numbers. Most of the torch song books are unpleasantly high. These arrangements are great for us second altos. I wish there were more in this series -- I only know of two books of jazz/torch that are truly for low voice. My only complaint about the book is that, if you really use it a lot, the pages fall out.
