Musicals for the Musically Timid!
The first musical I reviewed was "Jack and the Beanstalk". The table of contents lists the teachers guide pages and the song lists. Each song in the list also gives reference as to whether it is a choral piece or a solo. The songs supplied in the review kit have wonderful pages that contain nothing but lyrics and cute pictures so as to make excellent transparencies for the whole choir to see when you are teaching the music.
