I use this a lot. Have not used eveything yet. It does not give a resource for recordings

I went through every page in this book twice, and believe it or not could not find a single things that I thought I would ever use. It was advertised as a book for grades 1-8, but I couldn’t imagine ever using it with students older than, maybe, grade 5.
Even with my elementary kids, I couldn’t imagine using this book. Most of the activities were either things I could have thought of myself, and/or just seemed plain “goofy.” Actually, the book struck me (although it was not advertised this way) as a guide for substitutes who had little music background and didn’t really know what to do when teaching a music class. Since that is not my situation, I found it vitually useless.

If you don’t already have this book, you need to get it! It has activities for special days throughout the year (even days you might have never known about). The material is well suited to any age and is well liked by the upper grades (which can sometimes be hard to find). The activities are easy to set up and usually fill up one class period. I highly reccommend investing in this book. It saved me my first year of teaching and I plan to use it for as many years as they’ll let me teach
