Music Through the Grades in the Light of the Developing Child

This is a wonderful new resource book for Steiner-Waldorf teachers for Classes 1 to 8. Over 200 songs have been hand-picked by Diane Ingraham Barnes, an experienced Waldorf teacher and musician, to guide and inspire teachers in their lesson preparation.

The book is arranged by grade, carefully following the natural development of children at different ages. Within each year, the songs are arranged seasonally, presenting teachers with ideal material for every stage of the school year.

In addition, the book comes with three audio CDs, one each for Classes 1 to 3. They feature fine performances by Diane, often accompanied by flute, percussion or lyre, and will assist teachers who don’t easily read music – as well as providing further inspiration for those who do.
