Three Singing Pigs

Synopsis:
This baker's dozen of traditional tales re-told by the wonderful Kaye Umansky is a much-loved resource of musical fun through stories. Interweaving the stories are songs with familiar melodies and specially re-written words which carry the action along. Umansky has also added parts for percussion, actions, and simple ideas for composition which develop the implied musical concepts. there are songs to sing, games to play, raps to clap, sounds to explore and music to compose. the book is illustrated throughout with light-hearted and lively cartoons of the creatures, characters and actions from the stories. Non-specialists - even those who have never read a note of music in their lives and are not confident in handling musical ideas - should find this book ideal as a simple and quick way into the music curriculum. A superb collection which opens the door into clasroom music
