Sing Carols!
It’s never to early to start planning for Christmas…and this brand new
resource from
Starshine Music is bound to be a winner.
The main concept behind this CD is to ‘breathe new life into carol singing’.
15 favourite traditional carols are used and the melody lines have been given
inspiring instrumental backing arrangements. Full vocal demonstrations are also
provided.
Primary school music specialists are fast becoming an endangered species, so
this resource will be of huge benefit to Key Stage 1 and 2 teachers.
The wide variety of instrumental styles is designed to stimulate today’s
children into what for many has become a stuffy ritual.
The styles range from sea shanty (I saw 3 ships), through soft blues (Silent
Night), Celtic pop (While Shepherds watched), reggae (once in Royal David’s
City) oriental-flavoured rock ballad (!) (We 3 Kings) and many more.
For non-music specialists the vocal demonstrations make easy teaching while
the experiences music teachers and choir leaders can use the harmonies and
backings to maximum effect, especially for performances.
The CD enables carol singers with a portable CD player to have instant
orchestral backing, as can all karaoke singers aged 5 to 105.
This exceptional CD is priced at £12.50 including VAT.

Christmas musicals for 2003 -
