Easy Songs for the Beginning Soprano - Hal Leonard Corp

(Vocal Collection). This series was designed to supplement traditional vocal instruction and works perfectly as preparatory literature for The First Book of Solos and The First Book of Solos Part II . Each piece is in English and has a limited vocal range as well as a piano accompaniment that is playable by a student pianist.
