When boys? voices change from a childhood treble to a lower adult voice it is important to treat the voice particularly carefully. Pushing it too hard may cause permanent damage. Changing Voices contains a collectionof songs to help the young singer through this period: ? Songs with a r ange of between a fifth and an octave, in a choice of keys ? Wide-ranging repertoire covering classical, musical theatre, traditional songs and new commissions ? Background notes about the songs and their composers ?Pronunciation guides for singing in Italian, German, Spanish and French ? Description of the physiology of the changing voice ? Performing advi ce and technical guidance. For this particular period in a young male singer?s life, it is important that the song fits the singer, rather than expecting the singer to fit the song. The songs in this book have been selected with this in mind.
