A coloring and activity book to help children between 5 and 11 years to learn notes and rests. Included are small learning steps and various creative works puzzles and games of dice with several possibilities to repeat. Beginningwith quarters there are two possible directions: either to the slower notes (half dotted half and whole notes) or to the faster notes (eighth and sixteenth notes). Both methodic ways are equal. Chapters for the rests have asimilar structure. The presentation of new notes and rests combines little vivid tales with moving experiences of the children themselves (clapping walking and singing). The volume is suitable for instrumental classes in singlelessons as well as in groups and also for foundation classes. A well-devised and at the same time very versatile method which can be used as a permanent assistant to fun and easy success.

Children's Song Favorites is a collection of 75 songs for children of all ages most of them from the folk tradition. They have been collected over more than fifty years by a professional folk singer who is also a mother andgrandmother. Each song has the melody line complete lyrics and suggested accompaniment chords for guitar or other instrument. Many of them are unusualâ for example all 13 verses of 'The Three Blind Mice ' 'Hail to Britannia' (aBritish nursery rhyme song) and for older children 'Chopo My Pony' (a cowboy song) 'Old Thompson's Mule' (of minstrel origin) and 'The Housewife's Lament.' Audience requests have persuaded the author to include two pieces shehas writtenâ'The Doll Song' and 'The Solution to Pollution.' More than three-quarters of the songs involve audience participation making this an ideal repertory resource for teachers and youth leaders. A few descriptivesentences sometimes with suggestions for creative activity precede each song. The songs are arranged alphabetically and an extra table of contents lists the songs by categories: animals cowboys and the West creative activity dance tunes history holidays quiet time and teaching. Although this book was designed primarily for children the author regularly uses many of these songs with grown-up audiences.
