Cien tangos fundamentales

"No cabe duda de que las obras orquestales, si bien es cierto no tienen la profundidad e intimidad de los cuartetos clasicos de cuerda, en cambio poseen un basto horizonte de sonoridades que nos llevan en arrebatos emocionales de esa placidez de que solo supo Bach o a ese delirio que entrega en el campo del dolor Tchaikowsky al final de su Sinfonia Patetica. Las familias de instrumentos hacen alarde de sus virtudes y, en paleta colorista, nos presentan los mas bellos timbres de las maderas, metales y cuerdas percusivas." -Dr. Adalberto Garcia de Mendoza"

Isabel Villagar has provided us with a book to guide us in teaching children how to sing. Her book is based on scientific principles and focuses on the mental and emotional stages that children and teens go through while learning to sing. She dispels the notions that singing is reserved to those select few that are born with a gift. Isabel invites readers of all ages to uncover their own vocal talent.
