Develop music skills in your youngest students through active engagement, imagination, and the spirit of play. 

Continuing the effort to promote music learning in PreK-K, Mari gives us 4 more units involving singing, playing instruments, and movement, with simple plans and effective tools, preceded by three short sections about why we need to teach music, the elements of music, and making music time effective. 

This set of classroom-tested activities is highly adaptable, and the enclosed CD makes the book accessible to non-music teachers and music specialists alike. Taken directly from Mari's teaching experiences, these lessons reference the Common Core, Head Start, and National Core Arts Standards.

Each unit—In the Trees, Things That Fly, Things That Go, and Up and Down—feature 7 songs and storybook suggestions.
