LONDON COLLEGE OF MUSIC’s Popular Music Vocals syllabus has been developed for anyone wishing to improve their singing for pleasure and for those who wish to pursue a career as a pop vocalist. The exams encourage the development of technical skills within real world contexts, ensuring that singers build up knowledge of a wide range of styles and develop the ability to communicate with other musicians from the earliest level. The songs featured in these handbooks reflect the huge diversity of genres within popular music. Alongside some of the biggest pop tracks from recent years are a selection of classic songs from the past six decades, encouraging an exploration of different styles and the development of an individual personality. Included within the books are all of the materials needed to prepare for an LCM Popular Music Vocals exam; each section being supported by a full range of audio downloads, including
backing tracks and demonstration recordings.
