Música amiga: Canta la Letra

~A guest post by F. Isabel Campoy


CANTA LA LETRA.  VOLUME 2

Every one of these volumes can be used with any age children for the appreciation of poetry and music, and the development of concepts and values.

This volume is particularly suited for language and vocabulary development as well as family and identity values.

Música amiga is a program that can be used to develop initial reading skills. This volume will allow for the reinforcement of the vowel songs. The vowel substitution songs: “Una mosca”, “Yo te dare” and “La mar estaba serena” are excellent phonemic awareness songs. “A, a, a, mi abuelita me dará”, an original poem by Alma Flor Ada has become a very well loved song in Early Childhood education.My poems “Mi abuelo” and “Color hermoso” encourage recognition of family values.

Suni Paz's musical creations draw from her extensive knowledge of Latin American and Spanish musical tradition making this CD and all CDs in the series a powerful introduction to the Hispanic musical heritage.

The twelve poems contained in the book and the twelve songs contained in the CD are:

* Una mosca – Folklore
