Children acquire language in various ways. Research has shown that listening to, singing and enjoying music is one of the most natural methods of language acquisition. The nine volumes in the series, New School Songs for Young and Old, are designed to facilitate English language learning from preschool to junior high by taking advantage of this link between music and natural learning. Each elementary and junior high book contains 15 songs and there are 12 songs per book at the kindergarten level, all performed by a team of Canadian musicians with a variety of singing styles, and recorded in a state-of-the-art music studio. The high quality production makes the learning experience enjoyable and rewarding! The songs are written with a controlled vocabulary that grows progressively as the children develop their language skills. Each song tells a story about everyday life, and everyday experiences. These high-interest and beautiful songs draw the children in and engage them, providing many avenues for exploration of language. Sometimes it is simply enough to sit quietly and sing along. Sometimes, you have to stand up, move around, shake your hands and tap your feet to really feel the power of the music. Good lyrics, beautiful music, and fun activities. Students will enjoy these songs both inside and outside the classroom. They can also bring a lot of joy when parent and child, uncle and niece, enjoy the songs tighter in a family atmosphere. Let's sing and enjoy!
