“I
Want To Sing” Songbook and CD (£15)
12
original contemporary songs that have been sung and enjoyed by
100s of children over the past few years during our work in schools
as Musiko Musika.
The
songs were inspired by our music making with pupils and teachers
that we have met and worked with in diverse communities and reflect
the South American influences that are part of Musiko Musika’s
work.
It
is our belief that music does not need to be complicated or difficult
to be musically satisfying to perform and listen to. Songs can
provide us with ideas and material for learning and developing
many other skills in music and in life and you will find alongside
the songs and
their lyrics suggestions that can be used to help with rhythm,
singing and much more besides.
This
collection of songs is a resource that we have endeavoured to make
relevant and accessible to those who have enthusiasm, but no particular
skills, as well as experienced music teachers. With
that in mind we have included accompaniment only versions of the
songs on the CD as well as full versions so that they can be performed
with or without a live pianist/ guitarist.
Children
are enthused and inspired by encountering different instruments
and sounds and we have made full use of a range of instruments
from Europe, Africa and South America to create a CD that we hope
will lead you and your children to say “I want to sing”.
