Klappentext

Open Singing is all about creating moments of magic and pure
pleasure through singing with others. At Open Singing sessions,
everyone is invited to sing: the event is neither choral rehearsal
nor choral concert. It is - pure and simple - all about turning up
and making music.
Open Singing transcends age, style and culture. Along with a
methodical approach and good communication skills, a clever
choice of repertoire is one of the most important preconditions for
a successful session. This album presents a varied selection of
time-honoured classics and new pieces suitable for all kinds of
Open Singing.
Additionally, Sing Along - Sing Together! offers valuable tips
and performance suggestions for successful planning and realization
of Open Singing sessions.
