Ten Folk Songs, Simply Arranged For Voice And Piano, For Solo or Unison Singing

Ready To Sing... Folk Songs is a collection of 10 folk songs arranged for voice and piano in a simple style appropriate for beginning and young soloists, unison classroom singing, and elementary choral groups. Included are reproducible melody-line song sheets for each song which can be distributed to your singers. Soloists could also use these reproducible sheets when learning or performing the songs.
