It has been especially useful in working with children who have special needs in an integrated classroom setting or in self-contained groups. The music program in this book stresses creativity at every level and in every medium - singing, speaking and moving - because those things the child creates will be the most thoroughly learned. Every child can have success in some aspect of;every lesson. ;Another aspect of the program is the playing of simple classroom musical instruments: the Orff xylophone and glockenspiel, hand percussion, ukulele and recorder.
