The First Book of Soprano Solos

Joan Boytim’s The First Book of Soprano Solos is one of the most widely used collections of vocal repertoire for the developing soprano voice at any age. This collection contains songs that are easy to moderate in difficulty level and relatively short in length, so they are not too taxing for the voice. The selections include American and British art songs, folk song arrangements, sacred songs and a sampling of beginning songs in German, Italian, Spanish and French.
