Sing Out Publications, 2004

A book you'll actually use
I like to cook and have found that a good cook book is filled with recipes you would cook anytime, even a new one for first time guests. Other books might have one or two good recipes but overall, they just doesn't spend a lot of time off the shelf and in the kitchen. ...

Robert W. Ottman

Prentice Hall, 2004

Good resource that will significantly improve your skills if carefully followed
I picked this book up at my local used bookstore for a fraction of the price that it costs new, or I would have never purchased it. However, for the less than $10.00 price tag, I had to get it! The idea of this volume is to provide a large amount of singable ...

A New Approach to Sight Singing, Fourth Edition

Sol Berkowitz, Gabriel Fontrier, ...

W. W. Norton, 1997

The Beatles - Complete Scores

The Beatles

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1993

All you folks complaining about print would complain about the price of multiple volumes
It is completley insane to criticize this great collection for the size of the print. If you are a SERIOUS performing musician, get a cheap software music publishing program and produce your own lead sheets for performance. Use this to learn and something else to ...

The Best Available Text
I've been teaching University courses in popular music for over 35 years, and I've looked at all the textbooks (there were none when I began teaching). Indeed, I've been asked by publishers to be an outside reviewer for a number of them, including this book. This ...

James C. McKinney

Waveland Press, 2005

Excellent for Choir Directors!
