Circle of Song by Valeaira Luppens & Greg Foreman
Move the desks out of the way and invite your young musicians to circle up for some fun-filled active-learning music time! This practical book is a kinesthetic learner’s playground, including plenty of singing, moving, listening, playing, laughing, and learning! Favorite childhood songs are the foundation throughout, and each activity includes learning targets, musical concepts, required resources, and step-by-step instructions. Most activities need only floor space and minimal resources, making this great for the classroom or for those teaching on a cart!

An active choral singer and accompanist throughout the Central Ohio area, Jen can also often be found exploring the exciting restaurant, brewery, and theater scenes in Columbus, wandering through the local metro parks, visiting family around the Great Lakes, or at home with her very friendly cat.
