Hello list!

I was a member of this list in the Vocalist days as an undergraduate at
Union University. I've been inactive for about six months (and had a heck
of a time figuring out what had happened when I tried to resubscribe, by the
way!). To make a long story short, I've graduated and I'm taking the year
off to serve as the music associate/intern at my home church (Salem Baptist
Church in Knoxville, TN). To supplement my part time work at the church
I've started teaching private voice and piano. I've felt rather intimidated
by the task of teaching voice, worrying that I may point someone in the
wrong direction or something. But so far I've been surprised by how much
fun I've had teaching!

My question is this.... What are some good collections for very young
voices. I have several middle school girls and a couple of late elementary
school girls. I would really like to find something that is challenging,
but that they can relate to! The first book of soprano solos just isn't
going to work! All of the girls are very musical and the two elementary
schoolers have such beautiful, clear voices! (So many exclamation
points.....) I would appreciate any advice you "veterans" have for a new,
inexperienced teacher.

Thanks,

Shana Cox
