Description
Travel through musical history in 21 songs from Stone Age to Space Age and into the future.
Play and sing epic tunes of the Maya, Greeks, Ancient Egyptians and of medieval minstrels, jazz jives and disco divas. Each song evokes a new era with authentic tunes, accurately dated. Become familiar with the sounds, sights and activities of people through history, learn about the musical instruments they played, how they wrote their music and what it sounded like. Colourful illustrations and authentic backings bring the instruments to life, and modern song lyrics give extra meaning to the music.
The English 4-hole Ocarina, for which these songs are written, is a ‘chameleon’ instrument, the sound of which fits perfectly into each era. Never before has there been a music book quite like this. All the music is totally accessible for children and teachers alike, for ocarinas, voices and the whole-class band.
'Music Time-Traveler Teacher' offers total support to anyone who is teaching music for the first time. It will also be an eye- and ear-opener for music teachers! All is cross-referenced to make this a great addition to the history curriculum as well as to music lessons.
