BECOME A FAMILY CHOIR!  

 That's what The Lester Family did.

 
 

 

The Lester Family has recorded 4 educational cassettes that can teach your family, or class, how to sing in 2, 3, and 4 part harmony.

The way they work is that each song is sung with the soprano, alto, tenor and bass separately, and then again with all parts sung together. Each child decides which part he/she wants to learn then listens and memorizes that part.

It is all done by ear without written notation. (Children generally find learning by ear to be very easy.) Once the parts are memorized, the family or class can practice singing the song in harmony without the help of the tape.

 
 Here are the educational tapes they now offer. (Listed in order of difficulty):
Traditional Rounds, Canons and Harmonies
One of the best ways we know of to bring a group together for fun and harmony is to sing rounds.
 
Homestyle Harmony
Each person sings completely different notes from the other singers, resulting in 2, 3, and 4 part harmony.
 
Learn Christmas Harmonies - Family Style
Your family can learn to sing traditional Christmas carols in 4-part harmony. 
 
Learn Favorite Traditional Hymns In Harmony
How would your family like to sing their favorite hymns together in harmony?
 
 

Dear friends and fans of the Lester family tapes

the Lester boys have come a long way since "Traditional Rounds, Canons and Harmonies" and "Only My Mama"!

Three of our boys, Nathen, Damian, and Gabriel, have formed a band called "Abandon Ship" and have recently released their first CD entitled, (what else?) ABANDON SHIP.They wrote, played and sang every song on the album. (Nathen was also the recording engineer.)

It was their intent to write meaningful, uplifting, contemporary music. It's definitely rock and roll, but with sensitively-delivered, thought-provoking lyrics, memorable melodies, and striking 3-part harmonies.
If we do say so ourselves, we think it's fabulous!!
