My book A Different Voice, A Different Song: Reclaiming Community through the Natural Voice and World Song tells the story of the Natural Voice Network and the community choir movement. I explore how and why songs from the world’s oral traditions have provided the linchpin for the natural voice movement, and I show how the musical traditions of different cultures not only provide a colourful repertory but also inform the ideological, methodological and ethical principles on which the movement is founded.

The book draws on many years of participating in choir rehearsals, performances, workshops and summer-camps, as well as conducting interviews with voice teachers, choir leaders, and participants in multicultural singing projects. The companion website includes a wealth of additional material.
