This early years music book 'The Handy Band' has been especially designed to meet one of the six areas for learning in the QCA's Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage - Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Handy Band contains a collection of thirty new songs using familiar tunes with raps and chants providing a wide range of subjects for circle time and also promotes lively discussion opportunities for practitioners to share with their children. Many of the songs and chants use fun actions, puppets or fun role-play to underpin this area of learning.

This is also an ideal music book for parents to use with their young children because no music experience is required. It is an easy to follow book with loads of activity ideas and contains wonderful easy catchy tunes that most of us will know well and can sing. The music book includes songs about making friends and being part of a community, taking part, sharing, caring for self and others and developing confidence and self-esteem. The familiar tunes make these songs completely accessible to everyone working and living with young children.

Ages: 3-6 years
