Reviews

The songs are delightful, refreshing and engaging with plenty of ideas for teaching strategies and development of material. The advice is sensible and accessible and the songs are organized to provide musical progression. There is plenty of scope for imagination - whether in movement, drama, art or intrumental additions to the songs. The book includes a CD with backing tracks and is a fine addition to any primary classroom. Lin Marsh, SAME magazine 2011

He is a highly skilled teacher with extensive experience as a choral animateur, clinician, workshop leader, conductor, and arranger. He regularly conducts children's choirs and organises large-scale singing events with young people. The wealth of eclectic material in the Voiceworks series, and the useful teaching notes have made the series a significant contributor to the recent revival of singing and the development of confident singing leaders in the UK. Peter has delivered workshops and Inset training all over the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the USA, and has a reputation for lively, stimulating and highly informative sessions born of real practical experience in the classroom.

Following a successful career as a primary music specialist, Sue Nicholls became an Advanced Skills Teacher, a post which allowed her to follow her particular passion within music education: the support of the generalist teacher. Her books to date, including Bobby Shaftoe Clap Your Hands, Music Express [Foundation Stage] and The Handy Band, demonstrate an accessible and practical approach to delivering the music curriculum, and she has contributed songs to other books, including Singing Sherlock 1 & 2 and Voiceworks at Christmas.
