If that doesn't make the learning process simple and painless, nothing will.

These instructional CDs accompany the CASA Songbook Series, and are the most logical and effective way to learn group part-singing. Isolating either the soprano, alto, tenor or bass melody on one side of the mix, the singer can then practice and repeat their section, hopefully following along with the songbook for reinforcement. Once the part is secure, the remaining voices can be added to the mix, until a full group sound is achieved. Providing the training wheels for Volumes I and II are +4db, a San Francisco Bay Area-based contemporary jazz quartet and Regional Harmony Sweepstakes Winners. All other CASA Part CDs are midi recordings.
