Voiceplay

Voiceworks is a magnificent resource for promoting good singing in pre-schools, schools, community choirs, adult choirs and everywhere that people sing. The Voiceworks books (complete with CDs) are packed with songs and ideas which are practical, motivating, and accessible. This inspired collection of 22 songs for children aged 3-5 years is a brilliant resource cast in the same mould as Voiceworks. The authors have drawn on their unrivalled experience of working with young children to create a songbook which can be used by all practitioners, whether or not they are music specialists, in every Early Years setting. There is plenty of hands-on advice; each song is accompanied by concise notes which guide the leader through selecting a song and singing it, and there are also suggestions for extension activities including movement and playing instruments. With an emphasis on empowering the practitioner and encouraging children to embark on their own vocal and musical adventures, the material in Voiceplay is structured to support a range of different situations and requirements, and links directly inot the foundation stage six areas of learning. The children's book is also available separately.
