CLASSROOM JAM CHRISTMAS

Par FAITH REBECCA. In this collection we have gathered fifty Christmas Carols from around the world carefully arranging them for Voice and Piano. Each piano accompaniment is playable by a competent pianist, and there are additional optional harmonies added to the vocal part for choral use if desired. Every country puts its own unique cultural stamp on celebrating the holiday season and this volume can be used to explore those celebrations as part of a wider exploration of the World of Christmas. To this end we have included interesting Christmas related facts, a translation of the text, and both versions where they exist, so each anthem can be easily sung and understood, or compared. Ideal for use in the classroom, or by choirs, and provides wonderful presentational opportunities for themed Christmas concerts. / Choral Music, Songbooks / Recueil / Voix et Piano

The popular novella is studied at Key Stage 2 and 3 as part of the National Curriculum in England as well as at schools and colleges elsewhere in the UK and around the world. In this new Micromusical adaption the abridged story is told through drama and song.TestimonialsThe micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive. Through the micro-musicals the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have provided an excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history science geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.-Bronwen Chalmers Head Teacher Davies Lane Primary School
