"Here is an excellent CD that is thoughtfully and intelligently conceived for the young teenage singer as well as the more mature singer.  Corrine Walker has a clear, pretty voice that young singers can identifiy with and her musicianship and diction are admirable.  She is most ably supported by excellent pianists."  Ellen Faull
