Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is Jam 2005 & 2004 Song Book so
cheap?
A: Jam Song Book was created to compete with ABC Sing Book. Many
teachers have requested a new book that addresses what the ABC Sing Book has
failed to offer. It must still be a competitive price and over 1000 schools have
found out, in this case, competition is good for teachers of music. The Jam 2004
Song Book and the Jam 2004 Triple CD Pack are great successes. Many are saying
it is vastly superior to Sing. Jam 2005 will arrive in December 2004 and will
marry with Jam 2004 as a complete music program for primary music.
Q: Is IJAM Music registers for GST
in New Zealand?
A: We are not yet registered for GST in New Zealand.
Q: Do you need to purchase the
vocal or backing versions of these songs separately?
A: No. Both the backing and vocal versions of all 8 songs are
contained on the CD. There are also harmony versions for most songs on selected
CDs.
Q: My CD doesn't seem to have any
vocal versions, where are they?
A: They are on there. We have put the backing versions on track 1 to
8 so you can get to them quicker in a performance situation. The vocal and
harmony (if applicable) versions follow. The track numbers are listed on the CD
surface and for your convenience on the lyrics sheets above each song.
Q:
What are harmony tracks?
A: Harmony tracks are extra tracks to help teach a group in your choir harmony to a given song.
There can be one to four harmony tracks for one song. In each track, a specific
harmony will be much louder than other vocals so that students can listen and
follow the harmony. You can use the REPEAT button on your CD player to allow
your students to sing one harmony over and over. Harmony tracks are included with most songs on selected CD’s.
The selected CD's are usually in range we call Senior Choir. They include Senior
Choir, Modern Choir, Harmony Choir and coming soon Pop Choir. These tittles are
aimed at students in year 4 and above. We have also included harmony tracks on
our two Christmas CD's and, coming soon, our Modern Christian Singer Series.
Q: How long will it take to get my
order?
A: In Australia, all orders are send out overnight. The is the name
of the courier service used, it may take a day or two longer in some areas. In the UK, we are finding Royal Mail
very fast and most customers are getting there order the next day. If your order
does not arrive promptly please call us. Some times when you send a fax your
machine may not tell you that it was not successful.
Q: Can I purchase these products
for myself?
A: Yes. For personal orders we would like advance payment. You will
still get our 100% satisfaction guarantee and can return the products if they
are not what you require. We will refund the total invoiced price.
Q: Can these CD's only be used
with choirs?
A: No. We have, on average one CD in every school in Australia (and
growing fast in the UK) and believe that a lot of them are being used by
classroom teachers with their class for many uses. We have had teacher let us
know that they love to use the songs for performances and assembly items.
Q: Can I photocopy the lyric
sheets or make a copy of the CD?
A: We would of course prefer that you didn't, but your local eduction
department may have an agreement to allow you to make copies. As a teacher or a
music specialist, it is your responsibility to be aware of your rights to copy
and the legal limits. Your school will face heavy fines if you copy illegally
any form of published music. Contact your district office for more details. You
can purchase extra copies of a lyric sheet or sheet music if you have a large
group of performers.
Q: With Maestro's Recorder &
Band Music, which part plays the melody?
A: Part one. To be more specific:
1 = Melody
2 = Accompaniment
3 = Lower accompaniment
4 = Harmony to the melody
5 = Bass line
