'Voicelinks' is a unique collection of 24 songs and activities which support the development of the whole child, across all areas of the curriculum. This versatile resource not only succeeds as a first-rate songbook but also as an inspirational new teaching method, with music at its core.

Recenzje

The songs are delightful, refreshing and engaging with plenty of ideas for teaching strategies and development of material. The advice is sensible and accessible and the songs are organized to provide musical progression. There is plenty of scope for imagination - whether in movement, drama, art or intrumental additions to the songs. The book includes a CD with backing tracks and is a fine addition to any primary classroom.
