Reviews

"... creates a unique style of learning which tells how to put together simple rhythms and poetic words for activities the whole family or group can enjoy. This will prove a lifesaver for any working with kids who want to do music with youngsters: chapters provide some new approaches to musical development for all ages."

"Alas, you don't sing like Julie Andrews. But you still can share music with your child. The book teaches simple games and activities that explore the non-singing elements of music-sound, rhythm, language, movement, instruments-as well as a section on songs. You can clap, snap, sway, stomp, whistle, chant and dance your way through these activities, and your child will learn as you both have fun."
