Set of 2 Books, both with MP3 download / video streaming information included.
Both collections contain a wealth of material that can be used in online lessons and online family music events. This material however - deeply rooted in timeless folk traditions - comes alive best when presented “in person."
What's included:
- I'm Growing Up: Fingerplays, Action Songs, Singing Games, and Stories for Young Children (7740) ed. by Mary Alice Amidon & Andy Davis of New England Dancing Masters.
Children connect ear, voice, body, heart and mind with these rhythmic, singable, traditional fingerplays, songs, games, and dances. It is most important for you to sing with the children, because they have a deep need for the experience of the human voice, especially in this age of electronic imagery. But kids can sing along with the live music and watch the videos to see demos of kids in action. NEDM are well known for authenticity and quality in performance and publication.
- Two Little Blackbirds: Songs, Dances, Fingerplays and Music Activities for the Very Young, Their Teachers, Families and Communities (21804)
New England Dancing Masters’ newest publication by Eric Maring “Mr. M” - edited by Andy Davis and Peter Amidon, is a companion volume to “I’m Growing Up”.
An inspired collection of activities and a compelling framework for bringing music into the lives of young children (ages 2-5) and their families and classrooms. 112 pages, Wire-O Binding.
