Songs and Games from Kenya

Book and CD
32 pages
Grades K - 5

Explore the songs, rhythms and instruments of the Kenyan culture, while realizing that even though our lives may be different, music is something we all have in common. This collection of songs, activities, and lessons were gathered from Burrows' journeys to Miathene Synod, Kenya. Refresh your teaching with his vivid accounts of working with the children and teachers at the music academy he helped establish.

Songs are notated on the treble clef with lyrics in English or in Kimeru (the language used in the Meru region of Kenya) with the English translations. A listening CD is included with performances (female voice unaccompanied) and pronunciation tracks (slow and then at typical spoken pace) for all of the songs
