Summary of This Method
Designed for singers who want to enrich their repertoire with essential standards, this method brings together 14 great classics in keys specially chosen for the voice. The principle is simple and highly effective: for each song, you have two keys (a "High" and a "Low"). You can choose the version best suited to your range, whether you have a higher or lower voice, male or female, gaining ease on challenging passages (passaggio, sustained notes, phrase endings).
The book contains all the songs in both keys, with lyrics clearly noted above the melody. This layout facilitates work on rhythmic placement, articulation, and breathing, while remaining very comfortable to read during rehearsals. It is also an excellent resource for approaching phrasing, diction, and the musicality specific to standards.
The 2 CDs allow you to work directly with accompaniment, choosing the one that matches your version: a "high voice" CD and a "low voice" CD. The accompaniment is provided by a solid rhythm section: Steve Allee (piano), Tyrone Wheeler (bass), and Jonathan Higgins (drums). The program includes iconic titles like "Night And Day," "Love For Sale," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Just One Of Those Things," and "All Of You," perfect for working on interpretation, swing, and vocal presence.
