The Absolute Beginners approach has been designed to make learning to sing easier than ever before! Suitable for both male and female beginners, this step-by-step guide takes you through the basics, from how to stand and breathe correctly, to singing your first song. In one great book you'll find: a look-and-learn course that uses clear pictures and photos to illustrate every step of learning; practical advice and tips covering everything you need to know about posture, breathing, and performing; daily exercises that promote breath control, good tone, resonance and, most importantly, safe singing; an easy explanation on how to read basic music notation; audio tracks to let you hear how things should sound; full-length accompaniment tracks to sing along with; PLUS! audio tracks that you can TRANSPOSE allowing you to sing the songs in the key that suits your voice! Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

Tried this book as an alternate to teaching voice. The pictures are a huge waste of space, more valuable information could have been included.
