A
collection of 42 musical activities designed for classroom
teachers, music teachers and music therapists to use
in their work with children of various ages, abilities,
and needs
at the primary level. With over 100 variations, involving
singing, moving and playing instruments, these developmentally
sequenced activities have been carefully crafted to help
children develop: perceptual motor abilities, attentional
skills, behavioral limits, speech and language skills,
and relational concepts. The music is superb, the piano
accompaniments
are easy, the activities are great fun for the children,
and each one comes with complete instructions on how
to
engage children at various levels of difficulty. Inasmuch
as this
a reprinting of their highly acclaimed original work
of the same title, the effectiveness of these activities
has already
been demonstrated in various settings. (1998; ISBN 1-891278-00-2 Paperback,
150 pages $28).
