Music Garden 1 - We Make Music is aimed at music teachers, educators, and parents who wish to further develop the musical abilities of children aged 18 months to 3 years. The concept addresses the expanding experiential space of children and aims to establish playful music-making as a regular part of family life. Only when toddlers experience active music-making in their environment will they develop joy in making music themselves. The revised and expanded new edition features a clear layout and now includes 2 teacher manuals and 4 songbooks with CDs. Teacher Manual 1 contains a comprehensive educational foundation along with an extensive material section featuring knee bounces, finger plays, rocking songs, dance songs, call-and-response songs, and more, as well as suggestions for listening and instrumental play. All activities are also available on flashcards.
