I was very pleased with the song book. I was looking for folk songs that I had sung as a child and found many of them in this book. I play the ukelele and have one student, who is very young, and I wanted a book that I could teach from. I can only play four chords on the ukelele and I can sing most of the songs with these four chords. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for folksongs to sing and enjoy.
Contents pages organized according to scale, tonic, mode, feel. Lots of pentatonic music. Song games with instructions. Includes Spanish and Native American songs. Bibliography, discography, title index, classification index.
I have been teaching Kodaly for ten years and recently lost my personal collection of reference materials. This book and its partner book have gone a long way towards helping me rebuild the collection.
