Micromusicals - Award nomination

Christopher Norton’s Micromusicals series (published by Boosey & Hawkes) has been shortlisted for the Best Print Resource Award at the 2015 Music Teacher Awards for Excellence. 

The Micromusical series currently features five exciting and accessible musicals for schools based on popular stories and classroom teaching topics: Romeo and Juliet, Vikings, A Christmas Carol, Queen Nut and The Highwayman.  A sixth musical – The Little Mermaid – will be published early in 2015.  Further information on books, performance licences and other resources can be found at www.boosey.com/micromusicals.

The winner of the award will be announced at a gala ceremony in London in March.
