For more than 40 years, Sing! has been the leading resource for music educators throughout Australia and New Zealand. The Sing! Book 2012 is jam-packed with 44 songs for primary school students to listen to, learn, and sing along with. This vibrant collection offers an exciting variety of song categories, which include Popular, Country, Environment, Speech Rhymes & Rap, Show Tunes, World Music, Choir ...and much more! This year's theme, 'National Anthems', is inspired by the Olympic Rings-representing the five inhabited continents of the world. Five national anthems have been chosen, including the host nation (Great Britain), representing these different continents of the world-Europe, Australasia, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The anthems are 'Advance Australia Fair', 'O Canada', the South African National Anthem, the Japanese National Anthem, and 'God Save the Queen'.
