The music plays a vital role in making
this book unique.
Language, movement, concepts about
a child’s body and his world ,can be learnt so effectively through
music, songs, chants and nursery rhymes.
Children have an inbuilt sense of
rhythm. We can enhance this through introducing movement, songs and
music activities.
Rhythm and timing are so necessary
in all movement and learning, from throwing a ball, to swinging ,
walking, eating, to learning about numbers or crossing a road.
We have written original songs, chants,
poems and finger plays to accompany the book. The 67 track C.D. is
attached to the book and is inclusive with the price. It is exceptional
value!
There is so much variety offered
on the C.D. We have written long songs, shorter songs, lullabies or
lively dancing songs. There are silly songs or chants and beautiful
haunting melodies all offering a lightness and variety that can be
enjoyed by young and old alike.
The variety of musical instruments
and rhythms is a feature of the C.D., so your child is exposed to
many different sounds, timbres and musical genre.
The lilting voice of
Kate Hanratty and the beauty of her many compositions is a pleasure
to listen to.
There are easy to follow
instructions and ideas on how to use each of the songs chants or finger
plays, listed . These follow the areas of content within the book
e.g. rolling, spinning, jumping and so on.
