This book is a practical guide for music educators looking to teach music from Central America. Suitable for use in schools, this resource contains a playful collection of 90 songs, singing games, chants, and games the author learned from teachers, children, and families while living in several communities in Guatemala and Nicaragua. While the majority of the songs are in Spanish, there are several in a Mayan language, Kaqchikel. A comprehensive companion website offers field video, audio recordings, and selected song histories to help readers teachers and students witness the music in authentic contexts. (See song list below.)
