101 rhythm instrument activities for young children / Abigail Flesch Connors ; illustrated by Deborah C. Wright.

Includes index.

The perfect book to introduce rhythm instruments to young children. The activities bring music into the classroom and offer ways for children to participate in the music experience, using rhythm sticks, sand blocks, bells, shakers, and more! Children make the sound of the ocean waves using shakers, pretend to be a train using sand blocks, create a rainstorm with rhythm sticks and perform circus tricks with jingle bells. Plus, they learn to play the instruments along with their favorite songs. "101 Rhythm Instrument Activities" is perfect for parents, early childhood teachers and music teachers who work with toddlers through age six. Abigail Flesch Connors is an early-childhood music specialist. Her programs include singing, dance, rhythm instrument activities, literacy/music activities and listening games.
