I bought this book mainly for the use of one song for a callback. Using and installing the CD software was fairly easy and helped a ton when it came time for the callback audition. It's nice to use the software (Amazing Slow Downer)(funny name)) to slow down, and speed up the tempo you would like to rehearse your songs with. The CDs are not perfect, but it can be put to good use when you don't have the time or money to go to a voice teacher to work on a song. I normally sing Soprano and not Mezzo-Soprano, but this book has many useful songs and is a good workout for stretching vocal range down, if you are used to singing in the upper stratosphere.
