(Vocal Collection). This collection of carefully prepared recorded piano accompaniments (John Keene, pianist) will become a valuable tool for any student of singing. The book has long been a standard in teaching literature and is very likely to be the first publication a voice teacher would ask a beginning student to buy. John Keene is a concert accompanist and vocal coach based in New York City. He has performed throughout the United States and for radio and television. Educated at the University of Southern California, he has taught accompanying at the university level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on productions of their operas.

These are classics - all lovely - performed a concert of these once. Worth learning and not too difficult.

[Tamzen Van Horn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bought this for studying voice. The 24 greatest hits really does have it all. I've learned well over half of these songs and love every single one of them.

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

A standard book for beginning (and non-beginning) singers and for good reason: the pieces are lovely and offer a variety of levels. I've learned several of these and there are still more that I'm hoping to add to my repertoire. It's a great volume to work through in a learning environment, but I have a nice time learning them on my own, too.

Benissimo!

Any singer will have this book in their collection. Great Italian standards fairly easy arrangements and accompaniment.

[Edie Walls · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a slog to learn the song I had to from this, but it wasn't the book's fault. I like that there are translations underneath the italian.
