Action Songs Children Love, Vol. 1

Denise Gagne's "Action Songs Children Love" is a three-volume series (each sold separately), full of fun and engaging actives to get kids active and participating in music!

Remembering actions that go with specific songs stimulates both sides of the brain and helps to develop both cognitive and language development. The action songs in all three volumes are presented sequentially with regard to age, and all of the songs are in suitable ranges for children's voices (none go lower than middle C).

Each book contains over 25 songs with teaching suggestions and focus of each song included (beat, high-low, tempo terms, brain teasers, expression, etc.) Volume 1 is for pre-school to grade 2.
