Italian Method – 2 Complete Singing Training Books: Twenty Four (24, Twenty-Four) Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th & 18th Centuries for Medium High … or Tenor (Singers Lessons Sheet Music)

Ironpower Publishing has combined two Classic Singing Practice Books into one of greater value. These two original books have been a staple of singing teachers and their students for over two centuries. Because these books are often used together, it made sense to combine them into one complete, money saving volume. Instead of having to purchase the books separately you now have the convenience and economy of them being in the same book. The 2 books contained here are: Twenty-four Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries for Medium High Voice Vaccai: Practical Method of Italian Singing: For Soprano or Tenor Vaccai’s book, ‘Vaccai: Practical Method of Italian Singing: For Soprano or Tenor’ has long been regarded by singing teachers as an indispensable introductory teaching tool for those wanting to learn classical singing, particularly the Italian singing style. This version is for Soprano and Tenor. The book has been taught since it was first published in 1832 as Metodo Pratico De Canto (Practical Vocal Method). There are 15 singing lessons which contain 22 different vocalizes that cover all the basics of singing. Vaccai uses a series of short songs each focusing on a particular aspect or skill of classical singing rather than using exercises and scales. This makes learning more fun and enjoyable. They are excellent for vocal warm-ups during voice lessons. Each exercise increases in interval distance. For example, exercise one is all stepwise. Exercise two is in thirds. Exercise three is in fourths. And so on. For a teacher, the piano accompaniments are accessible enough that you can play beautifully but also closely monitor your student. A student establishes the fundamental Italianate vowels in an accessible yet progressive format. Included at the start of the book is a section on how to pronounce Italian vowels and consonants in what combinations. An English translation is included with each song to give meaning for those who don’t know Italian. Twenty-four Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries for Medium High Voice is also a standard for singing teachers and beginning students. In fact, for more than a century it is often the first book millions of students of Classical Italian Singing are instructed to use by their voice teachers. This book is for medium high voice.
