Awards and reviews
The Voiceworks series goes from strength to strength, and this heavy spiral-bound book is an extremely useful resource . . . Every piece has a full page of written introduction, giving context, tips for how to start teaching the piece to your group, and guidance on creating a performance . . . There's advice every step of the way on how to keep your singers engaged, singing healthily, and learning well, and the musical content is excellent. Where there are piano parts, they are easy and playable. Everything is explained and explained again, and the typesetting and presentation is beautiful. What's more, each page bears the slogan 'This page may be photocopied'. There's a CD in the back, loaded with MP3s including 'learning tracks', which highlight each part separately, and piano backing tracks
