Nearly thirty children,
singing or playing
instruments, join Mitzie
Collins on this joyous
recording. The songs,
games, and poems,
especially chosen for
pre-school and primary
school-age children, are
performed on a wide
variety of folk
instruments as well as
glockenspiels,
xylophones, and
metallophones. The
more than 30 years that
Mitzie Collins has
devoted to making music
with and for children is
reflected in every note
of Sounds Like Fun. In
addition to classroom
and assembly
performances in area
schools, Mitzie Collins
continues to be in
demand as a workshop
leader at early
childhood conferences
and music teachers'
conventions. We are
flattered and a little
amazed to learn that this
recording is now being
enjoyed by a second
generation of children.
The 8 1/2 by 11 inch,
60-page companion
book is designed for
parents and teachers.
Each tune is presented in
an easily readable
format, with chords,
complete texts,
instructions for the
games, and suggestions
for related reading
material and activities.
Orff-Schulwerk
arrangements for five
songs are included, as
well as a pattern for
making your own
limberjack.
Home-schooling parents
find Sounds Like Fun
and Reach to the Sky
invaluable aids in
incorporating music into
their daily learning
activities. As a result of
Mitzie Collins' extensive
experience with special
populations, there are
many adaptations and
strategies for using the
songs and games with
special children,
especially the physically
handicapped.
"A wonderful resource
for teachers and parents
alike. The bibliographic
information, music
transcriptions, and game
instructions in the
accompanying booklet
are particularly
outstanding." — Dr.
Ellen Koskoff,
ethnomusicologist, The
Eastman School of
Music of the University
of Rochester
