Features: With the vigorous development of senior education, an increasing number of middle-aged and elderly friends are joining the choir classes of senior universities. They dedicate themselves with great enthusiasm and perseverance, adopting a diligent and serious attitude towards learning singing. This book presents complex and tedious vocal theory knowledge and some vocal exercises in simple and popular language. The theoretical part strives to be clear in its viewpoints, easy to understand, and highly operational and practical, enabling middle-aged and elderly students to apply what they learn. At the same time, this book selects 100 vocal works loved by middle-aged and elderly students in the appendix. Among them, there are 40 songs in the operatic style, 40 in the folk style, and 10 in the popular style, as well as 10 classic choral songs. The operatic and folk solo songs are divided into three levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—based on technical difficulty. Middle-aged and elderly students can choose appropriate songs for practice according to their singing level and interests, and vocal teachers can select suitable songs for classroom teaching based on the specific conditions of their students.
