A Creative, Step by Step Approach
From the book's back cover:
"This well-organized method can be used with church or school groups, private students or voice classes. Book 1 is written for grades four through adult singers, while Book 2 reviews skills and progresses into more difficult sight-singing for advanced high school to University level (or anyone who has completed Book 1). The Teacher's Edition contains all material found in the Vocal Edition, plus detailed instructions for each lesson. Teachers will find a wealth of valuable information in these books.
