“Group singing empowers participants, builds community and can help ‘Turn the World Around.’ Ben gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get there with wisdom and love. Whatever setting you are working in—a school, camp, faith community, or peace and justice group—this wonderful book will help you to learn how to use singing to empower people, build community, and change lives.”
— Peter Blood & Annie Patterson, editors of Rise Up Singing: The Group Singing Songbook and Rise Again Songbook
Have you ever been to a concert where the artist sings a familiar song and everyone spontaneously starts to sing along? After a moment of surprise, you realize that everything suddenly feels different — the space has become a gathering of friends, a warm, cozy and peaceful place. That's what singing together is all about.
You don't have to be a rock star to create experiences like that — you just have to love to make music. This wonderful book reminds us why singing is one of the most important and meaningful of all human activities. And then it shows you how to make memorable musical moments come alive for you, and the members of your camp, school, church, synagogue, or community group.
If you have ever wished you had a hammer, a bell, and a song, you need to read this book!
