gasp, sigh - for those of us who can't or won't sing, at least we can play
real songs and use them to learn to play lyrically. For that, I recommend
(again, sorry - but another holiday season is approaching, and they make
great gifts, especially from you to you) various vocal collections with CD
piano accompaniment. My short list for today comprises the Hal-Leonard
Mozart Aria books; that is, one book for each of soprano, mezzo-soprano,
tenor, bass-baritone. The solo parts are written with the piano part, not
on separate sheets, they are in C (alto if you can get up there, otherwise
basso), and the bass-baritone book has the added attraction of being
written in bass clef. These books are all fun, inspirational and not very
expensive, considering that the accompaniment CD is included. There are
many other such books.
