Chimes of Dunkirk

Joan Capafons

This songbook allows children to explore, sing, and play traditional children's songs of the United States using the colors of the rainbow. Each song is written in standard notation with lyrics and chords and is also presented with colors instead of notes - similar to the colors of Boomwhackers, student handchimes, or rainbow-colored glockenspiels. This departure from Suzuki and Orff pedagogy puts the student at the center of learning and engages them in musical understanding through positivity and play that takes children, whether in a group or individually, on a musical journey through the senses. The teacher's edition includes enough stickers to code 20 instruments. Download of instrumental version and instrumental with vocals available. ePub files require an ePub reader.

Koomzaal

Research has shown that Itsy Bitsy Spider is the song most often sung by mothers in the United States to their young children. It is a traditional American finger-play song. In the orchestral arrangement, specifically the introduction and coda, you will hear a scale that brings to mind a spider climbing up and down. These notes engage children's imaginations. The illustrator used computer graphics and multimedia to create spiders that are cute, colorful and appeal to children.
