Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Silberg presents a variety of songs, action rhymes, clapping games, and activities, each labeled for age appropriateness and educational value. She clearly loves her subject and tries to communicate the ways that music can enrich the lives of children and parents. However, her unflagging attention to each activity's educational value results in the repetition of many self-evident phrases, such as "develops listening skills." Contrary to the title, this is not a how-to on singing. Instead, it offers many wonderful suggestions for music activities that will probably appeal more to adults who already feel comfortable using music in their programming. For the uninitiated, many of the suggestions that are no doubt accessible when demonstrated in the author's workshops are a bit flat on the written page. The lack of resources, such as a list of music recordings, is an additional problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great source to have in your home/school library!, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
This book is a great source to have if you care for young children. It offers a selection of age appropriate things to do in rythyme with your children. This book has all of the words to those songs that you sung as a child as well as some new songs. If you desire to make your own musical instruments then this book is for you. There are plenty of instruments to make using available household materials. I recomend this book to parents, day-care providers and teachers of young children. It is a great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference to have it you teach young children..., August 21, 2000
By A Customer
Ch 1 Music is for everyone; Ch 2 Music is rhythm; Ch 3 ...sound; Ch 4 ...language; Ch 5 ...movement; Ch 6 ...singing; Ch 7 ...instruments; Ch 8 ...fun-filled activities; Ch 9 ...a great way to teach; Ch 10 ...classical; Ch 11 FAQ's by parents and teachers

This book provides many games, activities and songs, to help teach children music concepts through play, without the use of musical terms. Very easy to read and anyone can use this book; musician or not.
