For over 20 years, "Music and Dance for Children" has been the standard work for musical early education. More than a million children have found a lively approach to music with Musikater and Tripptrappmaus. "Music and Dance" is now available in a completely revised new edition, incorporating the experiences of recent decades as well as a nationwide practical survey. The new materials for the first year of instruction include: completely new and colorfully illustrated children's workbooks, an expanded and updated song repertoire, a concept not tied to specific seasons, lesson plans for an entire school year, and a developed basic and advanced lesson for each topic. The fundamental idea of an open learning concept remains, allowing for flexible and individualized use of its impulses. "Music and Dance for Children" now combines the new with the tried and tested.
