Children's music education CDRhythm and Rhyme

with Maria Alley and Friends

DO RE ME AND MARIA's
Rhythm and Rhyme CD
(listen to samples) takes your children on a magical learning journey through the rudiments of rhythm and song.  Since all children learn through their play, I have designed an action-filled CD which develops some of the basic concepts they will need for future musical study: the keeping of a steady beat, rhythmic patterns using hand clapping and percussion instruments, pitch, tempo and games which involve active listening.

Cabasa pictureFor parents who want to develop their children's understanding of music, I have also created lesson / activity plans to use with the songs. Your child will enjoy playing in Old MacDonald's band, learning the letters of the alphabet by marching around a circle of plastic letters, making a rubber spider crawl up higher and higher on their bodies as the song directs, playing in The Dinosaur Band as well as learning to form popsicle stick rhythms.  They will also find out how to do "The Macarena" as well as learn some of the Spanish words in it. These activities are tested and true, and based on my many years of experience teaching music to preschool-age children.
