Vocal Resources for Young Singers Thursday, February 04, 2010
Here at Stanton's, we know that finding appropriate repertoire for developing singers can be a challenge. These books are perfect for helping budding musicians gain musical skills and prepare for concerts, festivals and other performances.
The collection 36 Solos for Young Singers is designed to meet the needs of upper elementary and middle school singers. Compiled and edited by master educator Joan Frey Boytim, it includes a diverse selection of traditional art songs and folk songs with limited ranges of about an octave. The book includes intermediate-level piano accompaniments and the companion CD features professionally recorded accompaniments for performance or practice. With the melodic lines completely supported in the piano accompaniment, your youngest students are sure to be successful.
BriLee Music's series of books for young voices have quickly become standards in the voice teacher's library. Featuring a wide variety of songs from folk songs and spirituals to originally composed works, the gradually widening ranges make it easy to find the perfect song for each developing voice. For the changing male voice, look at Heroes and Vagabonds, Traveling On, and Tales of Land and Sea, and for developing treble voices, My Heart Sings.
