Work in progress alert!

We're updating our website to show actual collection covers instead of those blue placeholders. With 7,000 titles, we're working through them gradually, but you'll already see the difference with collections like Grace by Michael Harvey and Ronelle McKay, Wherever You Go by Patricia Smith, 1000 Loaves by Beth Doherty, and our extensive psalm settings. The new visual style makes finding music by your favourite composers much quicker. More updates coming soon!

There’s a quiet invitation at the heart of every children’s choir. A call to nurture young voices, not just in music, but in faith, confidence, and belonging.

This reflection from Willow Publishing explores the gentle art of inviting children into music ministry. It reminds us that recruitment is not simply about filling roles, but about creating spaces where young people feel welcomed, encouraged, and part of something meaningful within the life of the Church.

You might like to take a moment to reflect on how children are being invited into your own community, and how their voices can be supported to grow with joy and purpose.
