Exciting collection of children’s songs with rehearsal CD – inspired by children and their imaginations.
The songs have fun lyrics and singable tunes so are easy to remember. They cover a wide pitch range to naturally extend young voices, and a wide variety of styles – but with a definite musical theatre influence, encouraging brilliantly clear diction as part of developing the skill of storytelling through song.
Lead Sheets (ref. VS027A) are also available for download which you can print out to help the children learn the words and tunes.
Each song has its own self-contained story – stories inspired by children and their imaginations.
Accompanying CD
The CD is designed to help in rehearsals. There are two rehearsal tracks for each song. They both have the accompaniment played on the piano, and the voice part played on a trumpet to help give clarity to the vocal line and give singers confidence to sing out. The first track for each song is recorded at approximately half speed, except where the tempo is already quite slow. The second track for each song is then played at tempo.
Finally, a performance track for each song of the piano accompaniments played at tempo can be used to accompany your singers in concerts if you do not have a pianist.
