Julie - Thank you for bringing the Sinatra Vocalises to my attention. I also think you're doing a wonderful job of processing advice you receive on this list and putting it to practical use. Good luck with your new teacher! I hope he/she appreciates what a diligent student he/she is getting!
Vallate@a...: Thank you VERY much for the web url for the Sinatra book. It's a fascinating piece of history, and will certainly be useful for the more "pop" oriented student who is sceptical of the usefullness of Vaccai, Garcia, etc. I'm going to give them a go and see if they're useful for me, too! I can't sing Wagner and Strauss 24 hours a day! LOL :)
