Easy Songs for the Beginning Soprano: With a companion CD of piano accompaniments (Easy Songs for Beginning Singers) [Paperback] Review

This is a nice book and it is very nice to have the accompaniment CD.I recommend using this for grades 9 and lower, as high school students with exposure to more advanced musical literature may find the songs too simple.

56 Songs You Like to Sing: Voice and Piano (Vocal Collection) [Paperback] Review

Purchased for my daughter who is taking voice lessons...her teacher uses it. I don't know many of the songs, but it seems like it's a good variety of music for a beginning vocal music student...Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Strauss among the composers. Challenging, but she enjoys the songs.
