Set of 2 Children's Music Books for Homeschooling - Music & Instruments for Children to Make and Singing Games for Children

A pair of vintage reference books for teachers and homeschoolers looking for ways to bring music to life for children, these books introduce young children to the wonderful world of music in two very different, but equally playful ways...

MUSIC & INSTRUMENTS FOR CHILDREN TO MAKE We love the authors' intent for the book. From the introduction... "The purpose of this book is not to teach music to the young child; it is to let him find music as he becomes aware of his own everyday experiences with rhythm and sound, the materials of music." • Written by John Hawkinson & Martha Faulhaber • Published by Scholastic Book Services, 1960 (this is the second edition, 1970) • 48 pages, full of great music ideas with full-color illustrations • Soft cover book • Measures 9" x 7 1/2" 

SINGING GAMES FOR CHILDREN Presents class children's nursery songs with games to play so that children learn the music through interacting with it. As described in the introduction... "The spirit of play and the imaginative world of little children are happily and vividly expressed through music." • Written by Alice P. Hamlin & Margaret G. Guessford • Published by The Willis Music Company, 1941 • Classic children's songs and games and black & white illustrations • Soft cover book • Measures 10 5/8" x 8 1/2"
