This project is a collaborative one in the sense that piano players (keyboard players or other musicians, why not) are wanted. I will be singing all sections along. So, the sections for grabs are for instrument players only.
The players will be sending their recording(s), I will sing along and submit the mixed files for PLing as we go.
If you're interested but don't feel like playing one of the music sheets 2, 3, 4, 6, ..., 19 times, we could try with you playing it once, twice or thrice and editing the recording to get to as many repeats as required. That is for the ones that have the same tune repeated over and over again (no special note in the MW).
I will put a bit more information on each section in the MW in the near future so that it's a bit easier to choose from. Each tune can be listened to on the wikisource link.

- How to claim a music part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to play, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to play (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
- New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
- Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the piano players who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other players to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
- Where do I find the music sheet and text? Source text (please only play from this text!): https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Chansons_et_rondes_enfantines or https://www.archive.org/details/chansonsetrondes00weck
- Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard.
Note that prooflistening will be asked once both the music and singing are submitted.
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Need noise-cleaning?
Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The latest version of Audacity is recommended for noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
