N ew Singing Games for Young Singers VOL. 1 - Grades K-1 (Ages 5-7) Canadian composer and music educator, Donna Rhodenizer, has written twelve original singing games for Kindergarten and Grade 1 students, singers ages 5-7. This 41-page book provides fresh and updated singing games and practical teaching tips for teachers in elementary music classrooms and vocal studios. All songs include scores and game instructions for large groups, plus adaptations for small group and individual instruction. Donna’s singing games focus on early skill development of emerging singers including action songs, fast and slow, as well as songs with simple tone set combinations (mainly s-m-l combinations). Individual singing opportunities are built into many of the singing games, giving students and teachers the opportunity to work on discerning differences in pitch and pitch matching leading to singing in tune with others. Singing games provide young singers with a play-based learning experience, inherent to their innate learning style and crucial to their skill development. Activities that create the opportunity for them to “explore and do” enable them to discover and learn. Singing games are a terrific way to introduce concepts to students, allowing them to internalize melodic and rhythmic elements while having fun!
