Betty Bertaux's works have expanded the body of quality repertoire for young singers. Her original compositions are tonally based and characterised by 20th century freshness. Her folk song arrangements are carefully conceived to capture the essence and spirit of the song material. Betty Bertaux's music combines the best elements of musicality and pedagogical concerns.

Compositions and arrangements are characterized by tonal and rhythmic variety. Often, specific aural and vocal needs are addressed. Compositions encourage singers to explore the expressive elements inherent in all music.
