Flexible Favorites for Unison and Part-Singing Fun! By Mary Donnelly and George Strid.
12 folksong favorites with this flexible collection that can be used throughout the elementary grades include song background, objectives, teaching sequences and assessments. Partner songs are the next step from rounds to harmony.
The reproducible singer songsheets feature each folksong and its partner on separate pages for a variety of teaching options. Teach these folksong favorites in the lower grades. When singers are ready, teach the partner song, and you've added twelve more songs to their singing repertoire. For further challenge, partner them up for twelve more performance options! A helpful teaching sequence and extension activities are also included.
Folksongs are not only fun to sing, but teach multicultural heritage and provide a better understanding of music concepts with repetitive rhythms and melodies. So, what better way to introduce young singers to beginning part-singing than with folksongs! Gr. 1-6.
