Theory as applied to voice is a little different than as applied to piano. Being a pianist, I found the alternative approach refreshing. There was a little of everything in this book, voice production exercises, theory, short repertoire/performance pieces, and other things of interest to a serious learner. It's good for teachers and home schoolers.
This book seems to take an instrumental class approach to choral singing, which is new for me. But I really appreciate that the book incorporates sight singing and theory in a methodical, pragmatic way. I got this to teach with for private lessons, but could easily see incorporating it into a classroom setting.
This is a very well laid out book. It progresses gently from simple to more advanced exercises. Perfect for our 8th grade son, who has joined chorus and wants to improve his sight-reading skills. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend.
BOUGHT THIS FOR MY VOICE LESSONS CAME IN GREAT SHAPE. EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND I USE SOME OF THE EARLY TECHNIQUES IN THE BOOK EVERY DAY.
