When singers are ready, teach the partner songs, and add twelve more songs to their singing repertoire. For further challenge, "partner them up" for twelve more performance options! A helpful teaching sequence and extension activities are also included. Accompany your singers live with simple piano parts in the printed collection, or use quality performance/accompaniment MP3 recordings available via audio access in the Performance Kit.
