11-01 I’m Growing Up by New England Dance Masters
Description:
I’m Growing Up Fingerplays, Action Songs, Singing Games and Stories for Young Children Edited by Mary Alice Amidon and Andy Davis is a collection of lively rhythmic materials for children from preschool to grade 1 which includes a CD and a DVD. The songs, finger plays, games and dances invite children to immediately discover ways to connect with language, their hands and feet, their imagination and their community. The materials are drawn from activities composed by contemporary artists as well as traditional sources. In many cases, the variations that Davis and Amidon have found successful are included in the notes. The selections that would benefit most from being visual are on the DVD. Likewise, the CD does not include every selection from the book, but a broad sampling of the game and action songs. The editors urge you to use the CD as a learning tool for putting your own style into the singing.
