The mixed meter of this piece provides opportunities for rhythmic proficiency in your singers as well as allowing for percussive exploration.  It's an impressive addition to your multicultural repertoire.

How can you go wrong with Andrea Ramsey?  Once rejected for its simplicity, this piece's beauty is found in the simple beauty of its melody.  The harmonies are intricate yet easy to teach. Your choir will ask to sing this again and again.

This energetic retelling of a classic story will captivate your crowd! Teaching elements include an introduction to the concept of recitative, challenging intervals that will be sure to help develop the aural skills in your young singers, and effective communication of text.

These are fun and inventive songs and exercises that build from unison to four parts.  There is a demo CD included.  The choir builders are great for warm-up exercises as well as fun rehearsal breaks.  Highly recommend!
