Customer Reviews

This is a book to support the non-musicians in school!
With simple songs, familiar tunes and clear explanations this book has been really beneficial in teaching music to nursery and reception classes. It is a must for all foundation stage practitioners and an invaluable guide for those who know little about music!

A good teaching aid for Primary teachers
This is a good book for new or current Primary teachers. It has a range of songs to help children with their counting and communication skills. You don't need to read music to understand the tunes. The book gives you an example, eg. 'sing to the tune of Old MacDonald had a farm.' There is music at the back of the book for those who want it.

The book also has some fine pictures of actions to go along with the songs.

For the teacher who needs to brush up on the words of nursery rhymes and songs this is invaluable.
