Call and Response Rhythmic Group Singing

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Can you recall the joyful abandon with which you embraced music as a child? Do you remember the power and the sheer pleasure of clapping your hands, banging a drum, and joining your voice with those of equally celebratory friends? If not, Ella Jenkins's Call-and-Response will bring it all back. In the mid 1950s Jenkins, a pleasant young woman with both obvious talent and a deep respect for our smallest ones, gathered with and led schoolchildren in making music, which she likens to playing "follow the leader." This recording of simple, percussive African, American, and Hebrew chants and songs began Jenkins's bright and lengthy career as advocate for, performer with, and educator of young children. Call-and-Response still sparks fresh for the enthusiastic elementary-age child and may inspire parental participation from even the most music-shy of adults. --Paige La Grone --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
