[HANASHIR:13019] a-capella resources

[Joy Newman <joyzee...>]

Currently we have a student who enjoys writing his own music, (so I don't 
personally know any group arrangements on-line) but I know that many schools 
don't have a guy who likes to write music like that!

So...try contacting U-mass's group Kolot.  They're AMAZING, and I know that 
they will have resources.  Search for u-mass/kolot on the web, they have a 
great site!

~smile always~
