The Singing Year
Music and CD for singing with young children

Candy Verney

Children love the seasonal delights that mark the passage of the year - kicking up the autumn leaves, blowing dandelion clocks, and finding the first spring flowers.

The Singing Year follows a child's journey through the cycle of the seasons with an exuberant collection of music, songs and poems about the birds, animals, plants and other highlights of each season.

This delightful family songbook also offers suggestions for seasonal gardening, games and craft activities. Candy is also the author of a companion volume, The Singing Day.

'… an invaluable source of material to help you develop your relationships with your child and your shared understanding of the wider world through singing.'
Annie Davy, Head of Early Years and Childcare, Oxfordshire County Council


Candy VerneyCandy Verney has developed her own unique approach to music making, inspired by methods used in Steiner / Waldorf Education, as well as studies in the natural world. Her passion is to inspire and create, through singing, a sense of harmony which gives the group an experience beyond the ordinary. Candy regularly leads team-building and de-stress workshops for conferences, local authorities and large organisations. Recognising the need for more teachers to work in a similar way to herself, she also gives teaching seminars to develop the skills needed.

She has founded, and runs, four community choirs - Singing in the Round (now in their 10th year) - where the emphasis is on singing for the sheer joy of it, celebrating the seasons and singing in special places.

Through her latest venture 'Journeying' Candy Verney is leading singing treks within the UK and India. Through connecting more deeply with the outer landscape, 'Journeying' enables people to reflect on the journey within: the two being woven together by the joys of singing in a group.
