Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my
website.
In the next few months, I
will be continuing an ongoing project. I plan to record all of the 26
Italian Songs and Arias for High Voice, and place every one of them here on this
page. I will be adding at least one per week. This project is
designed not only as an entertaining and educational experience for me, but also
as an aid to my many students. I want to provide accessible recordings of
each of these songs, and this seems to me to be the easiest way to do it.
So visit often, and please
listen when you visit! I can only continue this with YOUR help!
Thanks, and don't forget to
sign the guestbook,
Matthew William Schlesinger
