Rygsækken by Bibi Fussing and Dorte Bille . A book about children, music and movement. Rygsækken , or ‘the backpack’, is a useful tool and resource for anyone who is involved in teaching music to children. Whether you’re interested in the spontaneous use of music in the home or nursery, or the structured teaching of toddlers and their parents in a music school environment, this book will be a source of inspiration for educators, teachers and parents alike. It has long been recognised that music can be a stimulating factor in child development right from the beginning. The musical development of a child during their first year of life should therefore be takenseriously. Great demands are placed on the need to teach music in the preschool, not only for the music skills gained, but because music can also play a vital role in children’s linguistic, motor and social development. The importance of musical education is discussed in the first chapter of this book, which provides a theoretical introduction. In the later chapters suggestions for music lessons are given. Rygsækken can be seen as a backpack filled with advice, ideas and inspiration for organising musical training for younger children and their parents.

Kitt y Alone is the latest in series of captivating picture books, each based on a beloved songtale from the great American folk music heritage, and collected by John M. Feierabend. This beautifully illustrated version of Kitty Alone was conceived by illustrator Mina Echevarria, who suggested setting the song in the Appalachian Mountains and using a bobcat as the title character. Since they are rarely seen in the daytime, Appalachian locals refer to the bobcat as the “woods ghost.” Here the illustrations create the ghostly bobcat in the evening darkness of the forest encountering several delightful friends. Also notice the red thread that appears throughout. Find it in the last picture…was it all just a dream? Like the other picture books in John M. Feierabend’s First Steps in Music series, Kitty Alone includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to download the song sung by Jill Trinka at no cost. The song may be downloaded in audio: FREE MP3 Download - Full Performance MP3 download instructions: Windows users right click on the link. Mac users hold down the Control key as you click the link. Then select either Save Link As... or Save Target As... and choose the location you would like to save the file on your computer.
