Absolutely love this collection! As an adult learner, I found the intermediate level just right—challenging but achievable. It’s fantastic to have so many Broadway, Movie, and Pop songs already edited into perfect 16-bar cuts. It makes practicing enjoyable and efficient, helping me sound great without having to figure out the edits myself. So much fun to sing through!
