He regularly conducts children's choirs and organises large-scale singing events with young people. The wealth of eclectic material in the Voiceworks series, and the useful teaching notes have made the series a significant contributor to the recent revival of singing and the development of confident singing leaders in the UK. Peter has delivered workshops and Inset training all over the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the USA, and has a reputation for lively, stimulating and highly informative sessions born of real practical experience in the classroom.

Review :
This new anthology of Jamaican songs offers a piece for every occasion, from dance and humorous songs through to Rastafarian songs, Christmas songs and popular songs - all with infectious, lilting beats that are guaranteed to spice up any choir rehearsal . . . this is an excellent guide to incorporating Jamaican music and culture into music lessons - the only trouble is, you may never get 'Let's Get Together and Feel Alright' out of your head ever again.
