		<description><![CDATA[I have had the interesting challenge of teaching Sophomore level eartraining this year, and have been making series of videos for my students to help them in sightsinging and harmonic and melodic dictation. Most of them are pretty dry, but I did write a song (really more appropriate for beginners) that uses solfege as it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ricci Adams&#8217; musictheory.net is not only the best online resource available for learning and reinforcing basic music theory, it is probably the best single tool available for that purpose anywhere. And it&#8217;s free. Lessons and drills are all Flash-based, so you must have Macromedia&#8217;s plugin for your browser. However, the benefits are many; the pages [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came across a fabulous resource for singers who want to improve their sightreading. (Or for sight-singing teachers looking for a good, inexpensive text.) Ben Crowell, a professor of physics and astronomy at Fullerton College, put together a wonderful graded sight-singing book and has made it available for free on his website. (The work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is worth noting that Google Books also has a searchable, downloadable copy of the 1919 edition of Baker&#8217;s Biographical Dictionary of Musicians. This is a useful resource, especially because many musicians who are now relatively obscure were still well known enough to be included. The 1905 edition is also available.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[William Shakespeare (the voice teacher, not the playwright) wrote this treatise on singing and published it in the early 20th century. Of the various methods from this era, I find this one of the most accurate, concise and useful. (On the other hand, I can barely understand why a teacher would confine themselves to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been putting together a booklet of public domain Christmas Carols for a sing-along on Christmas Eve. While some wonderful carols were written since 1923, most of my favorites are public domain in the US. Using only these carols allows me to publish them without having to negotiate rights or limit distribution, and, of course, [...]]]></description>

Music for the Voice is still in copyright in the US, and not something I can offer here. However, the Internet Archive has apparently been given permission to [...]]]></description>
