Joan Boytim, the leading American expert on teaching the young voice, has added a preface about how to use these songs in the studio.

This collection is superb for vocal coaches and collaborative pianists working with low voices. The arrangements are carefully designed to keep the simple vocal line prominent, ensuring the singer is always supported, not overshadowed. The piano texture is engaging and varied, offering an intermediate-level accompaniment that truly enhances the folksongs. Modest vocal ranges are a huge plus for developing technique.

A reliable collection of 15 classic folksongs for low voice. The arrangements are fresh and well-written, with intermediate piano parts. While not a lead sheet with chord symbols for improv, the online audio with full performances and accompaniment tracks is incredibly helpful for quick learning and preparation. Perfect for specific events or studio recording sessions where a polished low voice arrangement is needed.

This collection is truly a pedagogical gem for low voice students in their early stages. The arrangements feature modest vocal ranges, making them highly accessible. While the voice parts are 'easy,' the intermediate piano accompaniments provide a lovely challenge for a studio accompanist. The clear layout and Joan Boytim's insightful preface make it an invaluable teaching tool for rhythm and phrasing.

I absolutely love this book! The 'easy' folksong arrangements for low voice are perfect for me as an adult learner. The ranges are very comfortable, and I can actually focus on enjoying the beautiful melodies like 'Shenandoah' and 'Barbara Allen.' The online audio is fantastic – I can listen to how it's supposed to sound and then practice with the piano-only track. Highly recommend for pure singing enjoyment!
