Your students sing, play, listen, and understand! This long-proven beginning recorder book lets young people learn music by playing music. The secret is in the special notation which students can read independently. Students frequently choose to buy their own books so they can practice at home. This way they quickly achieve competency on recorders while sharing songs with families and friends in sing-alongs and play-alongs.

• The special Peg Hoenack letter notation shows visually:
  • Pitches by their letter names
  • Rhythm with equal space for each beat
  • Meter with beats grouped into measures
  • Phrases as lines of songs

Let's Sing and Play works with widely diverse classes, and lets the many non-English speaking and other challenged children in today's schools participate with the others in the songs of our heritage. Many small successes can be enjoyed by every child with this carefully sequenced method which proceeds from the familiar to the unfamiliar in easy steps. All non-essentials are postponed. See how quickly students build concepts and play and sing a wide variety of folk songs and classical melodies.
