Joan Boytim is the leading American expert in teaching young voices. In 1997 Hal Leonard released this four-volume series of Joan’s excellent selections of Broadway material for singers. Lyrical music was chosen to be used in traditional classical voice teaching. Now a CD of professionally recorded accompaniments is available for each volume.
