Aloutte (Round) – Burt Kahn

Note from Burt: Rounds are a fun way for a  group play songs. The key to rounds is timing (when to start and finish, while maintaining the proper rhythm throughout the song).
I think that it is necessary to have all of the parts of the round in front of each player. It can be confusing to see all the different lines of tab. I would suggest making multiple copies of each song and using a highlighter to mark each part. That way one could play any part in the song. 

You Raise Me Up – David Hooten

Sanctuary – David Hooten
