The best way is to learn them from others. (See the webpage of singalongs.) Another great way is to buy CDs and songbooks from the artists who wrote the songs. To help people learn the tunes in the book, Annie spent 3 years recording every song in the songbook. The result is the Rise Up Singing Teaching Discs - an easy way to learn any song in Rise Up Singing. These "Teaching Discs" contain the tunes to all the songs in a given chapter, in the same order as they appear in the songbook. Each track is a simple voice with instrumental accompaniment of each song. These renditions are easy to follow. In the case of longer songs, the track will not include all the verses to the song - but tracks always include every part of the song you need to learn it (includiing introductions, bridges and other significant variations in the melody). Each CD covers either one or (in most cases) two chapters from Rise Up Singing.
