Intermediate/Advanced. This package includes downloadable audio tracks and a book. Pianist Steve Allee creates an intimate atmosphere with sensitive solo piano accompaniment for 12 of the greatest ballads ever written. Each song is recorded in two keys—one suitable for lower voices and another for higher voices—ensuring that all singers, regardless of gender, can find the optimal key for their vocal range. Selected songs are offered in two tempos (ballad and medium tempo) on separate tracks, providing excitement and variety to these timeless classics. The book clearly presents the melody, lyrics, and chord changes, while the pianist offers singer-friendly introductions and voice leading, facilitating the identification of the melody. Please note that the book contains only C parts—there are no transposed parts for Bb, Eb, or bass clef instruments; however, horn players will appreciate the opportunity to play and practice in the singer's keys.
