This music-making song is cleverly written so that the children don’t have to sing and play at the same time. Great for teaching them the vital musical skill of playing/singing at the correct time on the correct beats – and keeping silent at the right time too!
This brief but stunning poem comes from our beautiful collection Picture, Poems & Percussion 2. Each of its six lines contains a strong visual, kinaesthetic and sonic image, affording numerous opportunities for developing ideas across the curriculum.
Highlighting the joy of singing and all the benefits it can bring, this song is one you’ll sing time and time again. Surely an ideal choice for our Song Calendar, it’s a truly upbeat, timeless Out of the Ark classic where ‘catchy’ is an understatement!
This clever song demonstrates how one basic melody can be adapted to five very different musical styles, (samba, swing, waltz, tango, and Israeli) with minimal lyric changes. It’s actually a good deal easier than it sounds and lends itself very well to some varied and energetic dancing. Hugely rewarding with just a little work.
With its lilting verse and stomping chorus, The Elephant Dance is full of interesting facts and features about these remarkable animals. This waltz-time feel is perfect for some music and movement, especially in the chorus where the children can really stomp around.
