I use songs from this book daily in my music classes for Kindergarten through 5th grade. I think it is the most concise, accurate, and fairly priced collection of American folk songs you will find. If you are a parent, music lover, or music teacher, this book is for you!
A lot of the songs in here are great to use, but the book doesn't contain many of the folk songs that I remember from my youth. Even songs that I did sing in my youth are changed, with simplified rhythms and pitches. Also be cautious, as a few of the songs have lyrics which are inappropriate for today's school setting. That being said, it's a fine resource of songs to pull from for your classroom.
Exceptional book. I teach early ed (Pre-K) through grade 6, and this is such a great resource for anyone that sings, teaches, or has children. This is such a great book, it is required reading for the Kodaly programs of reputable music programs...
I have always loved folk songs and wanted a good general book that contained songs that I knew. This book fit the bill. It even has games that go along with the songs that have games. I love the book and would recommend it to others.
I teach primarily via Kodaly method. I bought this several years ago and haven't used it once. It didn't have many songs that I recognized or found practical to teach to K-3. I tend to teach memory songs, play the games that accompany them, practice internalizing the song for additional weeks, then learn to write the song using dictation. I also use folk songs in choral music. This book just didn't fit my needs.
A great collection of American folk songs for music teachers and musicians interested in American folk songs,especially songs that can be sung by children. These songs are arranged from the most simple two and three note songs up to the more complex diatonic songs. The book also contains "play party" game directions. A great book at a great price!
Many directions for the actions/games were impossible to follow. Certainly not described well enough to know how to lead a class.But I do use many of these songs for classes and private teaching. I highly recommend folk songs to aspiring singers of all ages.
This is a great book. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because there is a production issue in that any book I get has half a song missing on page 6. I messaged a friend with the same book and he said he has the same problem.
