Classroom Songbooks

Teachers keep coming back to Andy Beck's The Vocalize! Canon Collection for its blend of technique and singable material. Salli Terri's Rounds for Everyone from Everywhere delivers unison options that work across a wide range of grades and abilities. Sally K. Albrecht's Jingle Bell Jukebox series (including The Flip Side and the holiday companion A World of Christmas) continues to be widely adopted for seasonal programming.

Sally K. Albrecht released Creepy Creatures and Crazy Carols! in the past year, along with A World of Christmas: Holiday Songs, Carols, and Customs from 15 Countries. A new digital audio download called Counterpoint was published in September 2025.

Sally K. Albrecht is a choral composer and conductor known for her work with movement and ensemble pedagogy. She's received the ASCAP Special Music Award annually since 1987 and has conducted honor choirs at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and The Kennedy Center. Her Jingle Bell Jukebox series demonstrates her approach to making seasonal singing accessible and engaging across grades.

Andy Beck, Director of Choral Publications at Alfred Music, brings a methodical approach to both warm-ups and repertoire. His The Vocalize! Canon Collection is built from his well-known method book Vocalize! 45 Vocal Warm-Ups That Teach Technique, making it a natural fit for teachers who want singing instruction and performance material integrated together.

Greg Gilpin is an ASCAP award-winning composer and conductor with significant performance credits at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Ryman Auditorium, among others. His work appears throughout this collection and represents the kind of choral material that translates well to both classroom and festival settings.
