Happy Chinese New Year! Over at Hear and Play, they offer a singing course called Vocal Mastery System (affiliate link). I believe it is the only one that has to do with voice instruction. All the other dvd and cd music resources are geared for playing the piano by ear or for guitar and drums.
With Valentine's Day approaching, I have tons of Jazz standard songs to share from my book, so I thought I would start early.
