Voice for Life Songbook – songs to get your choir singing!
Complete with photocopiable vocal parts, a demonstration CD and training notes, the Voice for Life Songbook is a collection of warm-up songs, rounds, canons, songs in unison and for two parts or more.
This podcast offers hints and tips on how to use the book.
It’s Tuesday evening in Ashstead in Surrey… and we eavesdrop on St Giles and St George’s Youth Choir in rehearsal, to hear Voice for Life Programme Co-Director Leah Perona-Wright rehearsing some warm-up and part songs. And with extracts from the accompanying demonstration CD, fellow Co-director Esther Jones offers rehearsal hints and tips to alleviate the loneliness of the hard-working Choir Trainer. We learn about the Royal School of Church Music’s Voice for Life programme which is catching on around the world.
