This publication is a beginning-level voice instruction packet consisting of a book that contains a voice text/song anthology in conjunction with audio tapes and CDs of keyboard accompaniments, plus a website filled with instructional materials, including extra songs and a video demonstration of basic vocal exercises
Over 550 schools have adopted this instructional packet, primarily for use in teaching group voice. Voice professionals in colleges, universities, and those with private studios have also used this text for their beginning students, finding the holistic approach to voice instruction and access to more than 70 songs (with keyboard accompaniments) a very attractive offering.

This publication is a popular introductory-level voice-teaching manual that has been adopted by more than 450 colleges, universities, and schools. Teachers and students appreciate it for its comprehensive, in-depth overview of the vocal process, with attention given to a variety of topics, including voice-building methods and techniques, voice anatomy and physiology, voice performance considerations, and a wide range of teaching concerns.

The Singer’s Life: Goals and Roles (Birch Grove Publishing, 2005).

This text explores a wider variety of roles played by singers, including roles as vocal musicians and as human beings, with ten chapters devoted to each of these two life areas. A few schools have adopted this book for their undergraduate voice majors, with the objective of providing them helpful information concerning the major challenges, goals, and opportunities that every singer faces in building a rewarding vocal music career.
