Voice Teacher's Guide to Women Composers
Hildegard is proud to be the leading publisher of vocal music by women composers. Voice teachers today find that it's important to include repertoire by women composers among the study works and recital pieces that they assign for their students. To make these materials easier to locate and review, we have created this resource page specifically for voice teachers and their students. Listed below is a sampling of Hildegard Publishing's vocal collections. Tables of contents and sample pages are included for each collection.
