The Singing Thing too : Enabling Congregations to Sing

In Book 1 of The Singing Thing, John Bell explored the reasons why people sing. In Book 2 he is concerned with learning and teaching. How do people pick up new music? How do you encourage a congregation to learn a new song? How can you breathe new life into quality hymnody which has gone stale? With both tact and irreverance, Bell shares insights culled from over 20 years in which his colleaguesand he have taught new songs in venues as diverse as Old People's Homes with half a dozen hearingaid users to Greenbelt Festival with over 10,000 gathered for worship.
