Description

Multicultural Collection of Partner Songs and Canons
Composer: Cheryl Lavender
Format: Book and CD
Version: Classroom Kit (Teacher Edition (with reproducible pages) and Performance/Accompaniment CD)
Calling all world brothers and sisters! Travel our musical globe with WORLD PARTNERS! Like the patches of a family quilt, the folk songs of the world’s children tell their stories. Arranged by master music educator, Cheryl Lavender, the twelve « patches » in this collection are shared with the hope that global cultures and traditions might be better understood and celebrated by our world siblings and ultimately come together into the « quilt of humanity. » For instantly successful and « can-do » harmonies, these kid-tested folk songs are arranged with catchy, original partner songs and canons.
Adaptable for classroom or concert, all songs are reproducible and include piano/vocal arrangements, teaching tips and reproducible songsheets with phonetic pronunciations. For a richer performance opportunity, many songs feature Orff and percussion parts, as well as easy-to-learn folk dances. For added value, there are teaching objectives linked to the National Standards for each song! Available: Teacher Edition (with reproducible pages), Performance/Accompaniment CD, Classroom Kit (Teacher and P/A CD). Suggested for grades 3-8.
