Review:

cont . . . 'The Introductions to these books are veritable teaching courses in themselves, and the notes for each song provide an immense amount of perparatory guidance on how to approach it.' Clare Stevens, The Singer, June 07

'The preface by author Kevin Stannard states that Junior Voiceworks "sets out to inspire children of primary school age to sing". This fantastic collection of songs does just that with themes, harmonies and rhythms to enthuse and excite anyone interested in singing . . . The methods suggested
are easy to use and quickly produce pleasing results, even with inexperienced choral singers . . . Designed to meet the expectations of th QCA National Curriculum 2000 units 1, 8, and 15, and KS2, teachers can use these songs in the comforting knowledge that they are providing an exciting musical
experience within the framework that they must teach.' Mandy Doyle, Link Summer 2007

'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. Christopher Field, Music Teacher, July 2007
