Do you wonder if "The Wheels on the Bus" and rhythm bands are the only way to share music with kids? More Than Singing is the book for you! This book features more than 100 musical activities; it has ideas for creating songs, instruments, music centers, and extensions into language, science, and math. Throughout, the text has clear directions and musical notations. A CD included with the book contains all the songs -- which include music for movement and transitions -- accompanied by guitar or autoharp.
The popular More Than . . . Series by Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus is a child-centered integrated curriculum for five important areas of early learning: math, art, music, science, and reading and writing. Ideal for beginning teachers and inclusive classrooms, each book includes complete directions and illustrations for more than 100 hands-on activities, with answers to questions teachers often ask. These books are guaranteed to encourage children to explore the wonders of their world! Softbound, 272 pgs., and CD, 75 min.
"Ms. Moomaw demystifies the magic of music by masterfully weaving together simple, high-interest songs and inexpensive, easy-to-make musical instruments. More Than Singing embodies a holistic learning approach integrating songs with literacy, math, motor, and cognitive skills...a wonderful complement to Moomaw and Hieronymus' books More Than Counting and More Than Magnets."
—Cindy Schneider, M.S.W., program coordinator and parent educator
"All of the More Than . . . Series have gone to my classes for students to see. It is such a teacher-friendly format, one that works well for teachers at various levels of education and experience. Everything is laid out for the teacher: goals, materials, descriptions of activities; with enough theoretical framework provided at the outset to help students and teachers understand the rationale for the activities. These books should be in every child care center's resource room."
—Louise E. Bower, professor of education, University of Cincinnati
"I used More Than Painting, Much More Than Counting, and More Than Singing in Curriculum Development for Child Care Professionals. All of the titles in this series have a lot to offer practicing teachers who are always looking for clearly written practical applications."
—Sharon Schneeberger, instructor, University of Missouri-Columbia
