First Steps in Music: for Infants and Toddlers
Written by a leader in early childhood music education, this delightfully illustrated book provides a complete music curriculum for infants and toddlers. There is a comprehensive selection of songs, rhymes, lullabies and more. The repertoire is based on folk and traditional songs and rhymes because of their melodic expressiveness, and natural flow of language. In addition to complete lesson plans for a three-year curriculum, the text coordinates fully with the 3 CDs containing all the rhymes and music. Perfect for listening at home or in the car. (CDs include Keeping the Beat, 'Round and 'Round the Garden, Ride Away on Your Horses and Frog in the Meadow.) Teachers will appreciate the suggestions on setting up classes, preparing parents, record keeping, expanding the program, and planning ahead. Birth-36 months.
