eMedia Singing For Dummies Level 2 builds on the beginning vocal lessons found in eMedia Singing For Dummies, with new lessons to help you add that extra finesse you see and hear in professional singers. Voice instructor Ory Brown, M.M. draws on 30 years of professional teaching and performance experience to take your singing to a more powerful and precise level, using over 90 singing lessons with video and interactive elements to make learning easier.

This series of voice lessons teaches you to enunciate lyrics, improve your vocal tone, understand chest, head and mixed voices, sustain notes longer and sing with more expression and style. Interactive Feedback listens to you sing using the computer microphone and displays if you are singing a note in tune. Performance Evaluation tracks the pitch and rhythm as you sing an entire piece. Color-coded notes show where you sang flat, sharp or in tune, and the performance is given an overall score to make it easy to see your progress. eMedia Singing For Dummies Level 2 includes a variety of over 40 great songs—including hits by John Lennon and others—to keep the process entertaining.

With more than 250 million copies in circulation, For Dummies is the most widely recognized and regarded reference series in the world.
