A BRAND NEW product; a CD-ROM or download of all the songs called "Sing it!" is available. This CD-ROM or download can teach the songs to the children without any teacher input. Children can use it at school or at home - think of the time it will save you! Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.
Read the "Sing it!" reviews 'The "Sing it!" products were fantastic.' The Downs School, Bristol. 'Absolutely amazing material.' Mary O'Neill-Delano, Canada. ' "Sing it!" is fantastic for us less musically inclined teachers.' The Coppice Primary, Worcestershire. 'I really appreciate the "Sing it!" component as we often use this in rehearsals.' Newborough East Primary, Victoria, Australia. 'Can I also say that your "Sing it!" CD was brilliant.' Key Stage 2 teacher, Singapore.
*** NEW *** AudioScript
An "Audio Book" style read-through of the entire show performed by professional voice actors. It teaches each child their lines, when to perform them and most importantly, HOW to perform them. The copy and repeat method is simply the best and quickest way to learn. The AudioScript product is available as downloadable MP3 files or as a standard Audio CD. Have a listen to a sample of the AudioScript product on the "Samples" tab below.
"Starlight" is VERY easy to stage making it suitable for small schools with limited staging facilities.
This would be a good choice for anyone producing an Infant Nativity for the first time.
Hints & tips for N.Q.Ts are included in the script.
The Songs have lovely repetition and one song in particular - "There's a Star" - is an absolute show-stopper.
All your parents will be humming this as they leave ...and for days afterwards.
"Starlight" brings in the "Herod" aspect of the story - your boys will be very engaged.
There are 23 speaking roles and a solo song for Mary.
You can cast as many extras as you like as the script allows for this with roles for Guards, Angels, General Public, Additional Travellers, Attendants, Stars & Market Traders.
"Starlight" is suitable for the inclusion of "Early Years".

Starlight (Nativity)
"Such a delightful show with beautiful music and simplicity. Thanks for the chance to be able to adapt it so that all 94 Year 1 children had a speaking role even if it was small. The Kinder classes are looking forward to their turn to shine next time, but they loved supporting all the singing and getting dressed up. Parents just loved it - what more can you say?"Mrs C, Tangara School for Girls
