In this mini-musical, Elfis decides the elves are always working hard during the holiday season and never see how other cultures celebrate. After talking Santa into letting him borrow the sleigh, Elfis takes the elves on a whirlwind tour. They get an opportunity to observe holiday celebrations including Los Posados, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas gift-wrapping. Through this exciting musical journey, the performers and audience learn that our different celebrations should not set us apart. Instead, we should celebrate those differences and “keep love within our heart.”

For each musical era, this book covers:

- An overview of the musical era;

- "What was happening in America?" during that era;

- Famous composers (pictures and bios);

- Chronology of the era;

Each section then includes study quizzes (fill in the blank, multiple choice, word scrambles, word finds, etc.) for use as review with your students.

Finally, each section includes a choral arrangement (still fully reproducible) of a piece from that era, arranged for student-level SATB voicing with piano accompaniment.

Five Minutes to Reading Music: A Road Map to Musical Success by Jerry Estes is a series of short exercises designed to address the lack of students’ sight-reading skills within the limited rehearsal time teachers face daily. These reproducible exercises are easy-to-use and take only minutes at the beginning of each rehearsal or classroom period. This product can be easily adapted to your unique situation. An experienced chorus may sing an entire page using the exercises as a review. A less experienced group could repeat a page during the second week. The exercises may be used as “bookends” for your rehearsals by having your students sing that day’s exercise at the beginning and then reinforcing that exercise by asking them to sing it again before leaving.

Success and results are due to short and repetitive intervals in a daily routine. You will love the practicality of this new sight-reading series, its adaptability for all teachers’ situations and most importantly, its affordability. This product is a winner with reproducible pages and fun graphics to mark the sight-reading journey. Have a great trip; your students will be reading music in just minutes!
