We are loving this piece!  The poem is one of my favorites and part of the Language Arts curriculum at my school.  Musically it sings easily and is great for the first concert in October.   I also enjoy the learning resource page that the publisher provides for their pieces.  

Keep A Goin’

This men’s piece is great for the middle school male singer because the range is perfect for each voice!   The vocal line helps with  independence within the part as it features tenor and bass alone using echo part writing.  This piece offers opportunity to teach dynamics and if simply fun to sing! 

Happy Together

Hal Leonard

Easy A Cappella piece for young voices!  My baritones were not ready for this until spring so be careful to not start this too early.  Add a fun beat boxer and it will work for a great light number in your programs.

Love this website!  Extremely affordable and it gives you so many options at your fingertips!  Combine these exercises with other sight reading materials you already have in your classroom.  My favorite feature is the ability for my students to work independently at home.
