Elementary Elements (Kit)

This comb-bound book, CD, and poster set contains nine original songs and chants, each focusing on a specific element of music. Each piece shows the notation and lyrics (some songs also include chord letters or accompaniment parts) and most have movement directions or other notes as well. Teaching process and activity suggestions are given in the Notes section at the end of the book.

The included CD features children performing each piece. The Dynamics piece also has an accompaniment only track (electronic keyboard).

The 11 posters are printed on 8.5" x 11" cardstock, each printed with an element of music and the definition of that term.
