Useable with adults and children. A local school favourite is “The Power” about the energy of sun, wind and sea..

Some are more abstract and based on sounds, such as “Strum the Sounds Echo”.

It also has a basic step-by-step instructions on how to create/ compose your own round.

A Review of All Year Rounds

“I am delighted to say a few words by way of recommending this book to all those who run workshops and/or choirs. Laura is a colleague I treasure. She has a warmth, enthusiasm and lightness of touch which is inspiring and which shines through in all these rounds, along with the humour of her partner’s illustrations. This doesn’t mean the subjects of the rounds can’t have a serious intent. Those such as Burden of War and the Funky Green Fingers have a clear needed message for us all. Itchy Toe juxtaposes absurd words with a deliciously lyrical melody and O’ Willow Tree calls up Baroque sounds while you are helped with clear stepping stones to create your own rounds to slipping on a banana! This is a rich, varied and enjoyable adjunct to all our song collections.”
