[HANASHIR:14531] new music resource

[Judy Ginsburgh <judy...>]

Dear Colleagues,

I have just come across a terrific teaching resource.  It is a book called 
Shironi that comes with 2 double CDs.  The 5 x 8 spiral bound book contains 75 
songs -- traditional as well as modern Israeli -- for everyday life and for 
Jewish festivals and celebrations.  In the book is the actual notated music for 
each song with guitar chords and the lyrics in Hebrew, English and 
transliteration.  Accompanying the book are two double CDs!!  The first CD set 
contains all of the songs performed by singers to help you pronounce the words 
correctly and learn the tunes.  The second CD set contains just the 
instrumentals so that you can have your very own Jewish karaoke.  

I have never seen anything like this resource and think it is a wonderful tool 
for schools in particular.  Many of the 75 songs are familiar like the trad. 
Adon Olam, Chitman's Adon Olam, Zeira's Lecha Dodi, Shalom Aleichem, Eliyahu 
Hanavi, D'ror Yikra, Hatikvah (with the "bat"), Lach Yerushalayim, Tzur 
Mishelo, Avinu Malkeynu, Maoz Tzur, Y'mei HaChanukah, S'vivon, Mi Yemalel, 
Hashkediya, Mayim, Ani Purim, Ma Nishtana, Avadim Hayinu, Dayenu, Ani Ma'amin, 
Ashrei Hagafrur, Kachol V'lavan, Eretz, Hora Medura, Eretz Zavat Chalav, 
etc.....  The book is very well organized with large print and cute color 
pictures drawn by children throughout.

Shironi is a labor of love by Ruti Worrall who has conducted the choir at North 
Cheshire Jewish Primary School in England since 1980.  Ruti has done a 
magnificent job on this project and it is really something that should be in 
every Jewish singer's and every Jewish school's resource library.  In fact, 
many schools have purchased multiple copies to use as the basis for their music 
programs.

I was so taken with this project, that I asked Ruti if I could help her market 
it here in the US.  So, for a limited time, you will be able to order Shironi 
with a credit card by clicking on the link at the bottom of this e-mail.  The 
cost of the book with 2 double CDs is $45 plus $5 s/h.


If you are planning a music program for your school for the coming year, this 
is a great tool.  The added bonus is the sound track CDs that allow children to 
sing along with full accompaniment.

Ruti is also planning to be at the CAJE Conference in Ohio this summer and will 
be selling Shironi in the Exhibit area.  Order it now or get it at CAJE.
