Essential Books and Cds for Early Childhood Music

The books here contain a very special collection of traditional children's music that has been sung around Australia for generations. We recommend these books for every childcare centre, early learning centre and kindergarten. Indeed we recommend them for any adult wishing to select good music repertoire for young children. The Cds are great for helping adults who don't read music learn the material for presentation. If you require help with choosing appropriate material from the books we are happy to help and advise. We run courses teaching much of the material in these fabulous teacher resources.
