商品簡介
An essential reference for music teachers, music therapists, and recreation leaders, offering lyrics and music for children's chants, traditional school songs, games and dances, rounds, songs in harmony, popular standards, and foreign-language songs from around the world (these have phonetic pronunciation and English verses). Each song comes with notes on cultural and historical context and the song's composer, if known. Songs are notated in voice ranges that correspond to the maturity level of the song's text. Includes basic information about piano, guitar, ukulele, autoharp, and soprano recorder, with charts of chords and strums with fingerings. Most songs have on-page ideas for strumming and chording patterns. Appendices provide reference material for musical terms, signs, symbols, and conductor's patterns. This third edition contains 90 new pieces, 19 with on-page xylophone parts and four that are themes from classical music. Spiral wire binding. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
