Six South African songs especially suited for SATB choir.

Our South African book + DVD sets will guide you through each song, voice part by voice part, so that you can learn to teach them in the oral tradition. The books offer specific guidance on pronunciation, vocal tone, dance movements, and includes reproduceable wordsheets with full translations and IPA and background information for each song. 

The teaching DVDs include all the voice parts, step-by-step instruction in the dance movements, clear pronunciation teaching video, and full performances by a special ensemble of singers aged 8-18 from the Chicago Children's Choir.
