Giveaway: CDs to teach your family to sing in harmony!

The winner of last week's Peaceful Peppermint Set is: Noel (Noelssmith@)

Growing up, our family loved to sing together in parts. We'd always be trying to see how many different parts we could have going at once--often making up additional parts just for the fun of it! Singing and playing instruments together in harmony really encouraged unity in our home. And there's nothing quite like praising God together through music!

If you would love for your family to sing together, but you don't have musical background and struggle with even carrying a tune, you'll definitely want to enter this week's giveaway.

Genevan Foundations
has just released two brand-new CDs: Nations Praise and Glory, Laud, and Honor. These CDs not only contain rich hymns and Psalms sung in four-part harmony, but they also are tools designed to help your family learn to sing in four-part harmony.

The first ten tracks of the CDs demonstrate the full harmony versions of each of the songs and then the last tracks break each part down into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts to help you learn the notes and sing along. With a little practice, members of your family will be confidently singing together in four-part harmony--without expensive vocal lessons or professional training!

Recorded and produced by the Serven family, these CDs are sung together by a regular family so your family can sing right along and feel at ease--even if you aren't trained vocalists. (For those interested, you can listen to a sample recording here.)

To enter to win a copy of Nations Praise and Glory, Laud, and Honor, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post with your name and email address or blog address (so I can contact you if you win!).
I'll randomly choose and post a winner next Wednesday.
