Resonance: A Comprehensive Voice Series encompasses a rich and varied selection of Repertoire, Vocalises, and Recitatives that students of all ages and voice types will find appropriate to their musical interests and level of technical ability. Reflecting a broad range of styles and periods, Resonance also includes selections from musical theatre and popular styles in Levels 1 to 8 of the Repertoire books. The richness of music carefully selected for this compilation will resonate with teachers and students at every level of study. Resonance is the official series for examinations of the Royal Conservatory.

Each of the nine progressive volumes of Repertoire introduces students to essential voice literature and more. With a breadth of composers, style periods, genres, pedagogical challenges, and cultural flavours in each volume, the Repertoire books present an intrinsic approach for developing singers. Throughout the series, students will experience both standard works and lesser-known gems written for voice, while contemporary compositions and alluring new arrangements bring a new energy to voice study. Selections in musical theatre and popular styles are found in lists C and/or D from levels 1 to 8. Compact Disks for each level are conveniently included with the purchase of each Repertoire book. These quality recordings offer piano accompaniments for every selection in the Voice Repertoire books and are perfect for student use as a practice tool.
