Hi there.
Country Dance and Song Society's youth intern is compiling info for a "Starter Kit". The plan is to provide resources on the CDSS website that youths can use to jump start whatever kind of folk singing thing they're interested in.
So as not to reinvent the wheel...can you direct me to previously published articles on informally facilitated group singing? (not performance oriented) What makes it work, different formats, etiquette, trouble shooting, etc.
I know there's a lot of variety out there. I'm personally interested in singing settings that mostly avoid the use of paper and instruments but am hoping to provide general insights for all eventualities.

Feel free to pull up other links in this forum. I'm sure it's been talked about before and I'm sorry I couldn't find the links but my keyword choices can be loony.

FYI It will probably be a while before this stuff appears on the CDSS website and it will probably include links to sound archives, podcasts etc.

thanks
Julia
