Community Voiceworks is an unrivalled collection of fun, reflective, empowering, and moving songs in the practical Voiceworks format. With five sections covering a variety of life's key themes, there is something for everyone - from classic hits such as 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay', 'If I had a hammer', 'Walking on Sunshine', and 'Something Inside So Strong' to well-known traditional songs and new works by acclaimed choir leaders. The CD provides recordings of individual parts, allowing non-readers to learn aurally, and song sheets are photocopiable. A truly inclusive collection for all groups who love singing together, regardless of experience!
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. * Thomas Lydon, Music Teacher, June 2016 *
