We’ve known each other for a while now, and I’ve become increasingly curious about your name. I’ve never met any Gitika’s before – where does it come from?
what a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing.
Hai Gitika, We are an a cappela quartet from Holland and love you 2 books. We sing every song from those books. Can you tell me if there comes a Volume 3? We’re very interested.
Greats from Holland.
Hi Gitika, I’m a singing teacher and choir leader in Derby. As someone new to choir leading, and having just started teaching a couple of years ago I’m really pleased to discover your site and think it will be a great source of info and sharing about choir leading/ music so thank you! I’ve had a quick dip in to some of the pages, but will definitely be back for more 🙂
Hi Gitika
I am a choir director and am urgently requiring acapella world music in 3/4 parts in sheet music format. I need to teach songs from all over the world and thought yo could advise me please. Do you have any voicework books of world compilations please?

Hi Gitika,
I emailed last week to ask for five of your fab 80s acapella arrangements from the back catalogue. Will pay online or bring cash to first session of Bishops. I just need to know if this is possible as Wrablers are selecting songs for the next year today.
Thank you – hoping we can do justice to the arrangements!
