Youth Music's Singbook is an essential, inspirational resource for all singing leaders working with children and young people - containing twelve songs by some of the most exciting songwriters and lyricists working today.

This unique collection is conceived for all people leading singing, whether for the first time or for those looking for new repertoire, and explores a wide range of musical styles and topics to inspire all young people. It celebrates our culturally diverse community: from Gujarati, Chinese and Albanian songs to music by some of the UK's best-known songwriters. Each song is a complete 'unit', fully supported by interviews with the composers, learning strategies, warm-ups and creative music-making ideas.

Each song has been carefully graded and colour-coded into three levels - 'starting', 'developing' and 'challenging' - from songs in unison to those sung in parts. Photocopiable vocal parts and lyric sheets with additional questions and starting points help singers get to grips with the meaning of each song. There is also a dedicated section on warm-ups, with a wide range of material to complement the songs and encourage good singing practice. Stunningly produced in full-colour throughout, with two professionally produced CDs of complete performances and backing tracks of the songs (with selected warm-ups), there is also a dedicated web resource providing further supporting materials including instrument parts and enhanced music-making ideas, which can be found at www.singbook.org.uk.
