Why we love this

This resource captures what makes early childhood music instruction work: genuine joy paired with purposeful learning. Kleiner's experience running a large-scale music school for young children means every activity has been tested in real classrooms, and the integration of songs, orchestral listening, movement, crafts, and snacks creates the kind of immersive, multimodal experience that sticks with young learners.

What to expect

Warm, playful, and purposeful. The songs invite sing-alongs and giggles while the orchestral selections open children's ears to real musical texture and instrumentation. The overall tone balances structure with spontaneity, giving you permission to follow children's interests while still covering genuine musical ground.

Who it's for

Music teachers, classroom teachers, and childcare providers working with preschool and early elementary-age children. Homeschooling families will also find this resource engaging and straightforward to integrate into their routines.

How to get the most out of it

Play the CD during transitions and independent work time to normalize orchestral music as part of the classroom soundscape, not just something to listen to during formal lessons.
Follow the song selections with the suggested movements and activities to anchor the music in physical and creative memory.
Pause between tracks to allow children time to respond, ask questions, or share what they noticed about the sounds and instruments.
Combine the recordings with the craft and snack components to deepen sensory engagement and help children connect musical learning to their whole experience.

How to use it

Build a music unit around farm themes during spring or early summer, using the CD and activity guide to anchor daily lessons over several weeks. You can also select individual songs and listening tracks to support broader curriculum units on animals, seasons, or community helpers, pulling in the corresponding crafts and snacks as celebration or reinforcement.
