Who are the very best advocates for your school's music programs? The kids! Advocacy is a continuous process of diligent education to bring awareness about the benefits of music learning to the general public. And, kids can expertly share the joy of music making and learning in a variety of different ways. The authors worked together to develop a musical revue about the wonder of music. Each of the seven original songs can be performed together as a complete program, or they can be sung in other contexts as well. The 30-minute revue includes piano/vocal arrangements with choreography, short narrations for up to 65 speaking parts and digital access to student PDFs. To perform with recordings, the Performance Kit includes the Teacher Edition and digital access to student PDFs and performance/accompaniment audio recordings. Songs include: Music Is an Everyday Thing, Many Things I Learned I Learned Through Music, Playing Music Is Hard Work, A Song in My Heart, Working Together, If I Didn't Have Music, Our Place in the Choir. In addition to a musical revue, the second half of the book is focused on strategies, ideas and conversations about the importance of music study in children's and adolescents' lives. There are even writing and advocacy activities to engage students in the promotion of the critical role that music plays in their lives. The ten chapters concentrate on attributes of music education and how children benefit from music study highlighted in the Broader Minded Campaign put forth by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME): Decision Making, Grit, Multiple Ways of Knowing, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Emotional Awareness, Reflective Learning, and Process Orientation. Suggested for grades 2-6.

Do you need a perfect contemporary song for a vocal audition or performance? The Singer's Anthology of Pop/Rock Ballads gives you over 30 pop/rock classics to choose from––all transposed into appropriate keys and based on the original recorded hits. These songs fall into the new wave of standards that you are hearing more often at cabaret, concerts, and special occasions. These songs are most often identified with singer-songwriters, so this collection features the work of Billy Joel, Carole King, Adele, and others. These arrangements were custom made for this collection as authentic performing editions, friendly to both the singer and accompanist. Keys were carefully chosen, either preserving the original recorded key or transposing as near the original as possible to increase accessibility. This volume is presented in separate editions for Soprano/Alto and Tenor/Baritone, with some songs shared between the two, and others specific to the voice type. The Tenor/Baritone edition features 30 songs, including: Ain't No Sunshine • All by Myself • Bridge over Troubled Water • Crying • Dust in the Wind • Fields of Gold • Fire and Rain • Hallelujah • Imagine • Lean on Me • Mad World • New York State of Mind • Rocket Man (I Think It's Gonna Be a Long Long Time) • Thinking Out Loud • Time After Time • Unchained Melody • With or Without You • Wonderful Tonight • Your Song • and more.

Ramos has written a memorable tribute to a beloved teacher in I Carry Your Song in My Heart. For the advanced treble ensemble, the lush and captivating harmonies are sure to engage both singer and audience. With a wonderful it factor, it is a great find for concert or festival.A great music teacher's legacy is not measured by the festivals and conventions at which their students performed. It is not measured by the number of all-state performers or professional musicians their program generated. Nor is it measured by Teacher-of-the-Year awards or accolades. A great music teacher's legacy is found in the memories, the music, the life lessons, and the truths still resonating in the hearts of their students. I Carry Your Song in My Heart was created to celebrate the legacy of Cheryl Wilson, a great choir director, and the 'song' she imparted to her students. Robert Draper, her former assistant, wrote the first draft of the text which was further developed into its present form by Evan and Sarah Ramos. Performance Notes: Mm. 9-16: Be careful not to take this section too quickly. The section 'rhythms dance, phrases spin' is difficult to enunciate at too fast a tempo. Work with your singers to find a tempo that allows mm. 13-16 to 'dance' without feeling rushed. Mm. 37, 61: Keep the dotted eighth notes in these measures as legato as possible. M. 47: If you would like, accenting the dotted eighth notes is appropriate here. If you choose to perform this piece with Cello, feel free to adjust dynamics as needed for balance in the overall sound.A great music teacher’s legacy is not measured by the festivals and conventions at which their students performed.
