We've put together the first collection of fabulous recorder songs from our premier Recorder Classroom magazine. Whatever the age or ability of your students, you'll find this an invaluable addition to your curriculum. Songs include: "B Cool," "Find A Happy Place (soprano)," "Find A Happy Place (alto)," "Hungarian Rhapso-B," "Drifting Slowly," "Cheesy Feet (Really Funky Edition - Sharp And Crunchy)," and "Cheesy Feet (Swingin' Edition - Cool And Mellow)."

In this kit, we combine Artie Almeida's great Recorder Classroom columns for teachers everywhere. As a matter of fact, there is so much content here that we are breaking it into two jam-packed volumes, the first of which we are releasing this year. It stands on its own, as did each column, and is a must for teachers at any point in their careers.

This song is bold and assertive in its message and its style. It's also a lot of fun to sing and listen to! Use it for your school's celebration of Music In Our Schools Month, or for any performance, recital, concert, competition, etc., that touches on the noteworthiness of music.

Written as the second song of the revue, Positive, it can easily be used outside of that venue since the lyrics are not specific to the revue. A program about character, for example, might benefit from this song.

This is the first song from this year's revue, entitled, Positive. The subject of this year's revue aims to help our young charges learn early in life that what we think and how we speak can affect the quality of our lives. And isn't that kind of the bottom line of all we do with and for our children? We want them to be happy.

This classroom-tested, carefully planned recorder method incorporates a positive reward system in which students receive colored "karate belts" (not included) to hang from their recorders for each progressively more difficult tune.

Kids can find tons of great music from Music K-8 magazine that they can download legally for only $0.99/song or $1.98/video.

Properly warming up young singers can be tough, especially when you have a limited amount of time with them and when your singers are easily distracted. By popular demand, Anne and Teresa have created a fundamental set of warm-ups designed with these challenges in mind.

If you have handbells, Boomwhackers®, tone chimes, glockenspiels, or any bell-like instruments (including mallet or keyboard instruments), this is a terrific holiday song to feature them and your singers. Set as a light and bouncy 2-beat song, it's reminiscent of an old show tune. (from Music K-8, Vol. 21, No. 2)

In this catchy and infectious song, it's all about the rhythm. Everyone can take part with the options of rhythm sticks, tambourines, cowbells, jingle bells, drums, triangles, or even a guitar. There's a lot going on in this one and your students will enjoy the challenge. (from Music K-8, Vol. 21, No. 2)
