I was amazed at the result. Believe it or not, the punching dinosaur even worked with the adult choir. Thanks to WLP for that box of magic!‚ -- Charles Thatcher, composer and music director, Orlando, FL The Toy Box includes a dozen toys that provide visual imagery for good choral singing, making concepts like posture and phrasing concrete for young singers.
