In the tradition
of the Broadway show "Stomp," the great
Spike Jones and PDQ Bach, the pieces in this
collection are a light-hearted change of pace
for your concert
program and are ideal activities for beginning
and ending classes. The music will help build
rhythmic independence, develop a solid sense
of constant tempo, and improve your students
counting
skills.
Each piece in this book calls for a wide
variety of instruments, including trash can
lids, empty and full soda cans, rulers, staplers,
brooms, paper bags, and newspapers. In
addition to the suggested instruments, you and
your
students will probably dream up lots of
other things that can be used to make music ---
and
that should be part of the fun and learning,
too. A CD with optional acccompaniment
effects
is included. Get ready to make music and
have fun with your students --- but try not
to break
anything.

The
Orff Source: The Orff Source includes
89 arrangements of traditional and familiar game
songs and folk songs sequenced according to tone
set. (sm, lsm, smd ...) The sequencing will help
the classroom music teacher find repetoire to fit
their curriculum scope and sequence. Having the
complete set of arrangements will save the teacher
a great deal of planning and preparation time.
The 89 arrangments are co-related to the Musicplay
program. If you are using Musicplay, this will
provide you with arrangements of many of the songs
in Musicplay grade 1-5. However, the book will
be a valuable resource with or without any music
textbook. The arrangements are by Judy Sills and
Denise Gagne, and edited by Judy Sills (84 pages).
