Marthea, I have used the book and it provides a very good place to start
from in each class. I studied with Clif Ware at the U of Minnesota for my
Master's Degree in Vocal Performance with an unofficial emphsis in Pedagogy
while he was writing this book and his ped. book. As I said to you
off-list, he wrote "Adventures in Singing" specifically to fill in the
blanks that other books left. He runs several voice classes at the
University and they usually go through a chapter a week and then review the
material in class, along with doing a group warm-up, vocal exercises, and
then song prep. Obviously you can organize it however you want, but I would
be willing to answer any other questions people might have.
