To DAvid Grogan: Hi David. I also teach slightly younger students than the college level. Once my students get to college, if they are able to continue singing, they have already devoured quite a lot of repertoire and are quite advanced. I would say that many of my singers have enjoyed: 24 Italian arias (Schirmer) which comes in med. high and med. low. Any books of vocalizes that have graduated levels (we have Royal Conservatory vocalize books here in Canada and they are put in volumes of grades such as 5-7 in one book). I find that many of my students really enjoy vocalizes...Concone and Panofka are two favored composers. Five Eyes by Gibbs (comes in high and low) and I think Boosey and Hawkes publishes it is a good song about a guy and his 5 cats. It's fun to sing. W.H.Anderson, a Canadian composer, has written "To a Girl on her Birthday" which is quite beautiful and actually has quite a variety of compositions suitable. I don't find that my students are particularly fond of folk song arrangements yet these are also quite popular with many voice teachers. Hope this helps a bit.
