More Flexible Favourites for Unison and Part-Singing Fun

Composers: Mary Donnelly, George L.O. Strid
Format: Softcover with Audio Online
Version: Performance Kit (Classroom)
Level: Grades 1 - 6

Here are more flexible folksongs to introduce young singers to beginning part-singing and experience a variety of world cultures. The reproducible singer songsheets feature each folksong and its partner on separate pages for a variety of teaching options. Teach these world folksongs in the lower grades. When singers are ready, teach the partner songs, and add twelve more songs to their singing repertoire. For further challenge, "partner them up" for twelve more performance options! A helpful teaching sequence and extension activities are also included. Accompany your singers live with simple piano parts in the printed collection, or use quality performance/accompaniment MP3 recordings available via audio access in the Performance Kit. Fresh new originals partnered with world folksongs. Suggested for grades 1-6.
