HAL LEONARD ‘THE SINGER’S MUSICAL THEATRE ANTHOLOGY’
For nearly four decades, “The Singer’s Musical Theatre Anthology” has been a cornerstone of vocal training and audition preparation. Since the first volume was published in 1986, the series has become a resource in vocal studios, conservatories and professional rehearsal rooms. Hal Leonard is continuing this legacy with the release of “The Singer’s Musical Theatre Anthology – Volume 8.” Edited by Bren- dan Fox, who was mentored for the role by series founder Richard Walters, the new volumes include songs from recent musicals, such as “Diana: The Musical,” “The Great Gatsby,” “How to Dance in Ohio,” “Mean Girls,” “The Notebook,” “The Outsiders,” “Some Like It Hot” and “Suffs,” along with selections from many Broadway favorites not previously included in the anthology . {halleonard.com}
JODYJAZZ POWER RING LIGATURES
JodyJazz has expanded the selection of its Power Ring Ligatures with the introduction of the new Palladium Matte finish option. The new Power Ring Ligatures in Palladium Matte finish have been developed to complement JodyJazz’s Super Jet range of saxophone mouthpieces. They’re available in all four sizes to match the Super Jet Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone mod- els. The JodyJazz Power Ring Ligatures provide an easy solu- tion to the problem with ligatures that dampen vibration of the reed. The Power Ring features a concave inner design which reduces the touch points on the reed thereby maximizing reed vibration . {jodyjazz.com}
