A new interactive whiteboard CD-ROM and photocopiable printouts introduce children to 12 complete pieces of music with extra supporting tracks.
Listening to Music is a series which actively engages children in listening to music so that they can perform it and compose it themselves. Each pack comprises a visually exciting book, a CD of all the recordings, and a CD-ROM of interactive whiteboard activities and printouts.
The second title in the Listening to Music series brings together music from Indonesia, the Caribbean, India, the Pacific, South America and Europe - an eclectic mix of traditional, historical and contemporary music.
Through the activities, children recognise and use the building blocks of music: long and short sounds, high and low, loud and quiet, fast and slow. They perform their own versions of some of the recordings and they compose others - always listening perceptively to their own and others music.
Teachers will find this title a useful accompaniment to Music Express Years 3 to 6 and an enjoyable source of alternative activities for their primary music scheme of work.
