By Judy Sills.
22 clever poems by Dennis Lee are set in Orff style as speech pieces, songs, hand games, or full orchestrations, some with choreographed folk-style dances or body percussion. Sills skillfully outlines the teaching process for each piece, with suggested activities, movement and formations. She also introduces kids to musical forms (A B, A B A, canon, variations, etc.). So whether used in class or performance, these playful works ( Jelly Belly, The Ice Cream Store, Boogie Tracks, 5 Fat Fleas, and more) engage kids in musically rich learning.
