<p>I’m throwing my vote in with musicamusica. I think some of the pieces in the 24 Italian book are beautiful. When my D first started singing them, I assumed it was beginner or training repetoire. Then I was watching a PBS special on Pavarotti, and heard him singing Caro Mio Ben. That’s when I realized the pieces were simply classics - they can be used to teach beginners, but then can be sung when one has the skills to bring them to life.</p>
