Race Around the World

Race Around the World is an interdisciplinary recorder game that brings together a marriage of folk music from around the world and social studies. This book and the supplemental CD-ROM offer ways to integrate multiple disciplines into the music curriculum. The P/A CD included with the teacher's edition contains full-performance audio tracks of each piece as well as accompaniment versions minus the soprano recorder tracks. The audio tracks are suitable for classroom and individual practice sessions as well as accompaniment for public performance. Full Orff instrument scores for each piece by Brent Holl and Michael Nichols are included in the teacher's edition, as are correlations to the National Standards for music and social studies for each song.

The interactive website has animated graphics files, country information and pictures for use with interactive white boards and presentation stations, as well as mp3 files of the practice tracks for each song. Students are able to get online and practice with the accompaniments. They can also research each nation "visited."
