Songbooks with Audio Accompaniment
Feeling inspired by "The Voice" or the news that "American Idol" will be coming back?
If you have been singing along with your favorite artists, you may want to step up your game and sing along with backing tracks. The Music Collection has several song books that come with CDs or online audio. Hal Leonard's Pro Vocal series includes "Amazing Slow Downer" software that allows you to pick the tempo you want. It is compatible with Mac, PC, iPods, etc. Check out the Men's series or Women's editions or search for Recorded Accompaniments (Voice) to view them all.
