Customer Reviews

MUST HAVE FOR SOPRANOS!

I have used this book for years. The selection is wonderful. Most of the singers I know have a copy of this, and I tell all my soprano students to own their own. It is definitely a must have for any soprano who wants to work in the theater.Voice Lessons To Go's -Vocalize!

Happy

This is a very good product. It shipped quickly and in great condition. I have gotten many audtion pieces from it.

A great series

It's best to purchase all 3 of each anthology - I find Vol. 2 to be the best selection, but since each song is in the original key, it's a far cry from the pablum of typical "vocal selections" available. The only drawback - all the good audition pieces are showing up in these, and now everything's getting overused! :P

Most Comprehensive Anthology I've Seen

This book is very well organized, complete with a table of contents organized by musical, and summaries of each show for reference. The songs are presented in their original scores (no funky keys:). Althought this should be a part of every experienced singer;s library, those singers who have not had a couple years of either private training or music theory should skip it. Among certain circles, this is considered "The Bible" for young singers
