Awards and reviews
In addition there is a well-produced CD of model performances. Flexibility seems to be at the heart of Hunt's concept. The repertoire choice is enticingly varied . . . You can photocopy the pages, mix and match styles and parts or, given the spiral binding, even rip out songs you don't like - although I would be surprised if it came to that when OUP have produced such an excellent collection
OUP has a winning formula with its Voiceworks series. Each volume is a valuable resource full of attractive songs in a wide variety of styles designed to capture the imagination of young singers. And, if my recent experience of adjudicating school and community choirs at local festivals is anything to go by, children really enjoy performing Voiceworks items . . . A hallmark of the Voiceworks series is that every book is a complete teaching resource with photocopiable pages, excellent teaching notes full of practical help and ideas for learning and performing each item, as well as much sound technical advice on how to encourage children to sing well and enjoy themselves
