This book is designed for absolute beginner musicians who want to start playing popular melodies. All song melodies in this book feature numbers written instead of the traditional music score system, making it accessible for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. You can play by number if you're not familiar with musical notes. Numbers are used because most modern tongue drums have the numbers engraved or painted on their keys. In tongue drums with numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. Dots above or below the numbers indicate notes from higher or lower octaves, respectively. Your drum can be numbered from 1 to 8, where 8 corresponds to the note C of the next octave. For simplicity, we marked the note C of the next octave as 1 with a dot above it, as this is the convention used by most popular tongue drum models. It's important to note that the circles do not represent semi-tones. Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a specific note number, matching a key on your tongue drum. The duration of the notes is shown by the parentheses following the circles. The more parentheses after the circle, the longer the note's duration. Each tongue drum's sound scale varies significantly, making it impossible to tailor songs for every model in one book. Therefore, you might need to skip some songs if your drum lacks certain tones required for those pieces. Every page includes QR codes that link to the appropriate song. While these examples might not feature our simplified melodies, they help in understanding the melodies and rhythm.

The presence of Torah is a key element in all early childhood Jewish programs. Morah, Morah, Teach Me Torah is a wonderful complement to a teacher's Jewish library. It is an additional tool that will help families engage in Torah for living and learning. --Mary Lou Allen, Early Childhood Jewish Educator and Consultant
Since the mid-twentieth century, Zoltán Kodály's child-developmental philosophy for teaching music has had significant positive impact on music education around the world, and is now at the core of music teaching in the United States and other English speaking countries. Kodály in the Kindergarten Classroom is the first comprehensive handbook to update and apply the Kodály concepts to teaching music in early childhood classrooms. Kodály in the Kindergarten Classroom provides teachers with a step-by-step road map for developing children's performance, creative movement, and literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through six years of field-testing with music kindergarten teachers in the United States, Great Britain, and Hungary (the home country of Zoltán Kodály), authors Micheál Houlahan and Philip Tacka have developed a methodology specifically for 21st century classrooms. Houlahan and Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition and perception to create a system not only appropriate for kindergarteners' particular developmental stages but also one which integrates vertically between kindergarten and elementary music classes. The methods outlined in this volume encourage greater musical ability and creativity in children by teaching kindergarteners to sing, move, play instruments, and develop music literacy skills. In addition, Kodály in the Kindergarten Classroom promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills. Although the book uses the Kodály philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers certified in Orff and Dalcroze, and has proven an essential guide for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific training might be. Over 100 children's books are incorporated into Kodály in the Kindergarten Classroom, as well as 35 detailed lesson plans that demonstrate how music and literacy curriculum goals are transformed into tangible musical objectives. Scholarly yet practical and accessible, this volume is sure to be an essential guide for kindergarten and early childhood music teachers everywhere.
