Music Play is a play based program - each week features a new game from which the musical concepts in the curriculum are taught. Children love music games - this is a text that will have your students really excited about learning music! The songs in Musicplay are chosen to teach musical concepts, to teach children about cultures around the world, to provide songs for performances throughout the school year and to teach children about Canada. The most important factor in selecting songs for this series, is that songs appeal to children! The performances on the CD are also produced to appeal to children. Both children and adult voices are heard on the CD's and accompaniments vary. Orff accompaniments are heard in more than 50 songs, piano accompaniments are used in some, and upbeat rock and roll accompaniments are heard in others. The performance songs on the CD's have both performance tracks and accompaniment tracks - you can use the accompaniments only for your performances. Multicultural songs feature authentic performances - the songs are in original languages and are sung by native singers. Many of the multicultural songs are game songs that appeal to children even though the language and sound may be unfamiliar.
