A sequential sight-singing curriculum for all choirs. Each of the six units (containing four lessons each) clearly introduces new music reading concepts, reinforces those concepts with several rhythm and pitch exercises, motivates students with helpful hints and challenge exercises, and concludes with fun-filled review games and "Evaluating Your Performance" questions. The helpful "Getting Ready" pages (which precede each unit) are filled with music fundamentals, and for choirs who have never read music before, an optional "Before We Begin" chapter opens the book. And it's all a neatly laid out publication and a perfect fit for your students. From whole notes to sixteenth-note patterns, seconds to sevenths, key signatures, dynamics, articulations, and tempo markings; it's all here, and it's all logically ordered to insure student success! Spend just a few minutes a day with this book and your choir, too, will learn to "Sing at First Sight!"

Sing at First Sight, Level 2

It has been said that life is a journey that is often both not understood and misunderstood. The spoken word has been around since the beginning of time, flowing poetically like a river running downstream with adventure and purpose to a destination unknown. Within the pages of this book, you will find real life stories of the author and his travels. Each poem is delicately written with brutal truth that sometimes you don't see coming preceded by the story from where the poem derived. The poetry itself is real and filled with a subtle yet beautiful flow of both compassion and gratitude. As you read each story, you most likely will find yourself reflecting on a similar time in your own life that makes this entire book come to life. Some words feel as if they jump off the page and whisper in your ear. The unique writing style of the author makes you feel as if he is right next to you reading aloud. Brian Lewis has really placed his vulnerability on display and each page will certainly grab your attention.

Insightful Poems and Stories Written with a Deep and Awakening Voice That Takes You on a Journey of Truth, Love and Gratitude

A Poetic Journey of Life

This book is filled with deep and sobering stories written with love and kindness. Each story is followed by a corresponding poem in the rhythm of what I was feeling at that moment. Some of the poems were written at 3 a.m. and others at 3 p.m. Each story and poem enabled me at that time to express my truth and vulnerability and face my demons to remain sober and balanced.

This collection of essays takes stock of the 'new British queer history'. It is intended both for scholars and students of British social and cultural history and of the history of sexuality and for a broader readership interested in queer issues. In offering a snapshot of the field, this volume demonstrates the richness and promise of one of the most vibrant areas of modern British history and the complexity and breadth of discussion, debate and approach. It showcases challenging think-pieces from leading luminaries alongside some of the most original and exciting research by established and emerging young scholars. The book provides a plethora of fresh perspectives and a wealth of new information, suggests enticing avenues for research and – in bringing the whole question of sexual identity to the forefront of debate – challenges us to rethink queer history's parameters.

The Wolfenden Report of 1957 has long been recognized as a landmark in moves towards gay law reform. What is less well known is that the testimonials and written statements of the witnesses before the Wolfenden Committee provide by far the most complete and extensive array of perspectives we have on how homosexuality was understood in mid-twentieth century Britain. Those giving evidence, individually or through their professional associations, included a broad cross-section of official, professional and bureaucratic Britain: police chiefs, policemen, magistrates, judges, lawyers and Home Office civil servants; doctors, biologists (including Alfred Kinsey), psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists; prison governors, medical officers and probation officers; representatives of the churches, morality councils and progressive and ethical societies; approved school headteachers and youth organization leaders; representatives of the army, navy and air force; and a small handful of self-described but largely anonymous homosexuals. This volume presents an annotated selection of their voices.
