Corrections and Requests for Reviews

The first five copies of Singing Lessons for Little Singers came back from lulu yesterday and we discovered some typos and page formatting issues! So Erica and I have gone through the carefully books and fixed all the typos we could find, touched up some of the drawing, rephrased a few sentences (I couldn't help myself), and most importantly, fixed the pagination so that the pages open as designed. It's essentially perfect now!

I am also starting to contact various experts in the fields of singing and child music pedagogy to review Singing Lessons for Little Singers. I'll keep you posted on what they say!
