 Detailed guidance on weaving speech play into the classroom, with great examples from the public domain  A comprehensive master class for creating Orff arrangements  How to introduce Orff instruments in the classroom, with stepwise instruction  Gentle, age-appropriate sequences introducing music and creativity for preschool and for kindergarten  Key ways to integrate speech, play, movement, singing, and rhythmic and melodic instruments into the music classroom And numerous additional essays about the joys of teaching from the heart, engaging children and adults with spontaneity and simplicity.
