This step-by-step method includes songs with lyrics, dynamics and accompaniment, along with preparatory exercises that are interesting, authentic and flexible, based on the “sound patterns” that form the foundation of music.

Vocal collection for Kids!

Sight-Reading for Young Singers

Here is a fun, easy collection of songs to help kids bridge the gap between singing by “ear” and reading notes. The lessons are easy to follow and present just one concept at a time, using audio, simplified notation and do-re-mi pitch syllables to guide learning. The full-length Showcase Solos will provide plenty of motivation, and the collection is ideal for kids ages 7-11 to enjoy along with a teacher, parent or friend.
