Associated NVPN member - Betsy Sansby
Betsy Sansby, who leads the One World Community Choir in Minnetonka, Minnesota, has just produced a set of teaching discs for community choir leaders.
Each beautifully-recorded volume in the series contains all the parts to five or more a cappella songs from around the world. Each part is highlighted on a separate track, so it’s easy to hear how each part should sound, as well as how it interacts with the others. And each song is recorded with a click, so you always know how each part relates to the beat. Each CD comes with a PDF file including the lyrics of the songs (but not a score), translations for the songs, and teaching suggestions for choir leaders.
If you order the downloadable version of either Volume, you'll automatically receive the PDF file of the liner notes by eamil. If you order the CDs in hard copy, email Betsy, and she'll send you the PDF by email. That way, you can email lyrics sheets to your choir members whenever you want.
100% of all profits from the sale of these discs will go to CARE.org, a charity devoted to empowering women and girls in the poorest regions of the world.

The words and tune for this song were written by the young mums (age 14-16yrs) as part of CRISP's Positive Activities for Young People project with teenage mums and mums-to-be.
Teenage mums get a bad reputation in the UK but this wonderful specialist Pupil Referral Unit has places for 40 babies, and most mums become responsible mothers, retaining care of their infants and going on to achieve well educationally.
For more info please contact CRISP Co-ordinator Catherine Pestano: catherine@naturalvoice.net
This inspiring compilation of warm-up songs written by NVPN members all over the UK comes as a book with 3 CDs of the separate parts for 65 songs. There are songs to suit all groups, and they pay tribute to the hugely rich diversity of our expanding Network. You can find more details of To Grace The Earth on our Resources page.
