The Oxford Book Of Easy Flexible Anthems Spiralbound

Designed to complement The Oxford Book of Flexible Anthems, this collection enables church choirs of all types and sizes to have at their fingertips easy music for every occasion. Flexibility of scoring is presented in a constructive and realistic way, with particular provision for unison or two-part singing and a focus on ease of learning.

Designed for course sequences in aural skills, Progressive Sight Singing, Third Edition, by Carol Krueger, presents students with the grammar and syntax of musical structure and prepares them to perceive that structure with both the ear and the eye. Divided into two parts, the text presents rhythmic exercises in Part I and melodic exercises in Part II. The two sections can be used concurrently over a four-semester course sequence, giving instructors flexibility to teach at a pace that suits the abilities and backgrounds of a particular class or course schedule. Features: a progressive approach introduces new elements one chapters at a time while reinforcing previously learned skills through graduated exercises, encouraging active practice ; An abundance of rhythm exercises eliminates the need for a separate rhythm text ; A variety of sight singing methodologies are accommodated throughout the text. New to this edition: Expanded and adjusted pacing of the rhythm sequence and an earlier introduction of simple meter aids in the development of the connection between sound and sight ; Addtional solo, duet, and multi-voice melodic exercises enhance aural and reading skills ; Expanded appendices include suggested harmony-chord progressions ; A free and open-access Companion website (www.oup.com/us/krueger) offers recordings for aural dictation, solutions to exercises, flashcards, expanded vocal pitch exercises/graphs, and many additional melodic and rhythm exercises. -- from back cover.

The Activity Book provides further opportunities for practice of the vocabulary and structures presented in the Show and Tell Student Book. Provides carefully scaffolded writing activities and further reading texts so that students can put the language they learn into practice. In every unit there are opportunities for the children to think creatively and build upon what they have learned in the StudentBook, particularly in the story, values and cross-ciricular lessons. Opportunities for personalisation, including short end or unit projects to take home. Enhanced lesson-for-lesson activities provide parents with step-by-step instructions to better support their child with their homework.

Based on a set of four research parameters, this book discusses the development of research questions and hypotheses, naturalistic and experimental research, data collection, and validation of research instruments. Each chapter includes examples and activities.

The Numeracy Book now supports Show and Tell from level 1 with a revised syllabus for level 2 and 3. The Numeracy Book covers the main areas of pre-school math progressively, with inbuilt recycling so learners repeat what they have learned. The syllabus includes: number sense and operations, patterns, functions and algebra, geometry and measurement. Suggestions for when to use the NumeracyBook are referenced at the bottom of the Student Book page, but this is flexible and can be used according to time and needs of the students.

Provides extra reading and writing practice. Each four-page unit provides practice of identfying, producing, reading and writing the sound-spelling patterns, first in isolation and then in words and short texts. The texts include rhymes, simple stories and non-fiction texts. The Literacy Book now supports Show and Tell across all levels. Level 1: introduces the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Level 2: reviews thealphabet. Level 3: builds on previous knowledge and covers common vowel sounds and spellings. The Literacy Book is best used before the Say it with me lesson so that students have phonics practice little and often.

This collection aims to provide a comprehensive survey of a highly significant part of the Christian Year: Ash Wednesday and Lent, Passiontide, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. Its contents span all musical periods of what is a marvellously rich area of church music and it contains much that is not widely available elsewhere under one cover. Ash Wednesday to Easter for Choirs includes a number of less familiar works together with new or recent arrangements of well-known tunes, such as Philip Ledger's 'This joyful Eastertide', Simon Lindley's 'Now the green blade riseth', and Bob Chilcott's setting of 'Were you there?'. Some of the anthems, for example Richard Shephard's 'Sing, my tongue' and Grayston Ives' 'Ride on', have been newly commissioned specifically for this collection, thus filling certain gaps. Wherever possible new practical performing editions of 16th-century repertoire have been prepared, reflecting current scholarship and including an English singing translation and, where, the original had none, a dynamic scheme. Such dynamics are the editors' suggestions only and may be freely ignored or adapted. Note values have in some instances been halved. Unaccompanied items include keyboard reductions for rehearsal.
