There is a fantastic book called "Encore for Choirs" with a good varied
repertoire of four-part songs. I would strongly recommend it for classes
(or grades) 7 to 12.

I will not be teaching music this year, as I am teaching Religion as well as
Class 7. It will be a welcome break for my ears.

Hope all is well across the pond,

Richard (from Brighton Steiner School, UK)
