Review:
The musical materials are invariably well-chosen, tuneful and fun. Moreoever, almost all the pages can be photocopied, so there's no need to buy multiple copies of the book (Hunt is big on rote learning). This monumental enterprise is clearly a labour of love and belief, and there can be no leader of a school or community choir who could not benefit greatly from investing in this publication. Matthew Greenall, The Singer, December 03 OUP has a winning formula with its Voiceworks series. Each volume is a valuable resource full of attractive songs in a wide variety of styles designed to capture the imagination of young singers. And, if my recent experience of adjudicating school and community choirs at local festivals is anything to go by, children really enjoy performing Voiceworks items ... A hallmark of the Voiceworks series is that every book is a complete teaching resource with photocopiable pages, excellent teaching notes full of practical help and ideas for learning and performing each item, as well as much sound technical advice on how to encourage children to sing well and enjoy themselves.
