Description :
A unique program specifically for infants, toddlers, preschoolers & the grownups who love them. Infant activities are included & all material can be adapted for K-2nd grade. An educator & grandmother, Gari Stein is passionate about providing a rich musical environment for every child. SING WITH ME and ARE WE THERE YET are based in the richness of traditional folk music & provide over 200 activities of educational interactive musical fun. Research supports the importance of music in the early years. Use SING WITH ME at home or travel, as a curriculum in the classroom & daycare, spontaneously throughout the day, during transitions, circle time, home visits, parent-child enrichment, community events, in therapeutic settings, seasonal & birthday celebrations. Every activity has been tried, tested & given the seal of approval from the hundreds of families Gari has worked with. Methods & materials have been gathered from experts in Music Education for Early Childhood. Except for the instrumental selections, the program is presented in short segments - simply, acappella, slowly-paced with purposeful pauses to create silence, which helps children to focus, absorb & listen to the music. Babies too? This program follows the standards of the Music Educators National Conference (MENC) and also provides trainings and workshops for teachers, care providers, parents, administrators, librarians and in all settings that serve young children. When all else fails, try Singing and Dancing. It really works!
