This text includes 150 hands-on activities that help grades 1-8 students of all abilities master the basics of reading music by actually singing and playing favorite children's songs on a variety of instruments. Sections include: reproducible worksheets, games, song sheets, composition worksheet award certificates, and Teachers Resource Materials providing end-of-section tests and answer keys, follow-up activities, suggestions for extending the learning experience and classroom management. We have also added a new CD with clever accompaniments for many of the rhythm chants, melodic exercises and songs found in the text. |
