Included in this collection are well-known children's songs such as "Splashing Around" and "Mountain Rabbit" that incorporate fun actions and gestures. Also, traditional standards that have been passed down from generation to generation, such as "Blue Birds" and "Arirang." Each Korean children's song features a musical score with the lyrics in Korean script and romanized form and an English version of the lyrics. Historical and cultural notes are included, and for the children's songs, Choi describes the accompanying actions. Companion audio recordings of all the songs are included, along with tracks that allow you to sing along. Every page has beautiful full-color illustrations of traditional Korean scenes by the talented Korean artist SamEe Back. Just as songs like "Home on the Range" or "Oh! Susanna" are part of traditional American culture, the songs in Korean Folk Songs are a valuable resource for anyone with interest in Korean culture, history and language.

"Unbelievable but true, this is the story of two whales, two Pauls and two boys. The whales are Haida and Chimo, captive orcas who lived in an aquarium called Sealand of the Pacific in the 1970s. The Pauls are Paul Horn, a professional flute musician, and Dr. Paul Spong, a scientist studying the orcas in order to learn more about these mystifying creatures. And the boys are Marlen and Robin, Paul Horn's sons, who are fascinated with the orcas despite their father's fear of the giant whales. What follows is the spellbinding story of how the Pauls, through the power of music, learn to communicate with the orcas -- and set into motion an entire anti-captivity movement dedicated to protecting these intelligent and majestic animals"--

Questa collana nasce da appunti ed esercizi raccolti ed elaborati in quaranta anni di insegnamento del flauto dolce. L'idea nasce dalla necessità di risolvere sistematicamente i problemi tecnici incontrati durante lo studio di questo strumento.In mancanza di una moderna letteratura didattica mi sono impegnato a sviluppare una collana che, oltre ad affrontare l'aspetto tecnico strumentale, proponesse una metodologia interpretativa nell'esecuzione del repertorio barocco.Dopo anni in cui questa metodica è stata collaudata dai miei stessi allievi ho deciso, sperando di fare cosa gradita, di dare questi volumi in stampa per condividerli con gli appassionati di musica barocca e del flauto dolce, siano essi professionisti o dilettanti.

For over thirty-five years, Gorman John Ruggiero trained child actors. The many productions are represented in this collection of his plays. These works include folktales, mythology, religious stories, and original works that can help children learn some of life's lessons by acting them out on stage.Ruggiero spent many years working with children on the autism spectrum, and many of these plays were performed jointly with typically developing children to great success. This process truly enhanced the communication skills of the child actors, as well as helped develop in them an understanding of autism. Many friendships were created during the rehearsal and performance process as children learned about one another's differences and commonalities.In a world where communication is sorely lacking, Ruggiero believes that physical, emotional, and intellectual expression, found in the performing arts, is crucial for the success in personal and professional relationships. Helping children perform these plays will advance that notion.
