For First to Fourth Grade (Six to Ten Years) With Suggestions for Use of the C-Flute or Recorder
This collection has been designed for children of about six to ten years of age (grades 1 through 4). It presents songs which may be incorporated into the lives of the children, to accompany them during the course of the days and the seasons. It may also be treated as progressive studies which build a musical vocabulary through the development and expansion of the fundamental musical experience of the interval of the fifth. The musical fifth may be seen as the primal gateway into the world of children (see the work of Julius Knierim), practice with songs based on the fifth will put the breath in the "right place".
