Voice - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1318614 By DaCapo Primary Music. By Fred Plowright and Jane Cutler. Children,Classical,Contemporary,Folk,Instructional. Educational Method. 30 pages. DaCapo Primary Music #907292. Published by DaCapo Primary Music (A0.1318614). The songs contained in this song book have been selected with many things in mind.It is important for children to learn from the very beginning that they can sing in tune, that they can feel the rhythms and that they enjoy the subject material.The songs chosen are old folk songs which have been re-worded to suit the children of today. The pictures tell the story and play an important role in helping to remember the song.Children have small vocal ranges. This means that, when begin to sing, the best songs are those with only two or three notes. Gradually, we add songs with a wider note-span to extend the range of the child’s voice.The rhythmic element of the songs has also been selected to help the children to sing accurately, to hear and understand the rhythmic patterns and eventually to identify them.Jane Cutler Principal of The DaCapo Music FoundationYou can find more DaCapo pieces for Children at DaCapo Music Shop.
