New in 1998 and very well received. This exciting new collection of 25 songs has live backings including flute, violin, acoustic and bass guitar, piano, conga drums and drum kit. It is a lively collection of music for singing, actions, movement, and playing instruments. There are songs about teddies, clowns, puppets, songs to help teach colour, counting and Maori language. You and your children will love it.

Jump Jive and Improvise
By Janet Channon and Wendy Jensen
Also new in 1998 and working very well with older children. This exciting collection includes songs for set and creative movement, singing in parts and playing tuned and untuned percussion instruments. There are also many opportunities for children to improvise their own patterns, either in movement or playing rhythms on their bodies or untuned percussion instruments. Children become thoroughly involved when their ideas are incorporated in the music. Live backing includes saxophone, flute, violin, bass and acoustic guitars, piano, congas and drum kit.
Best suited for children up to age 10
Set includes cassette tape and teacher's book.
 

Friends
By Janet Channon and Illustrated by Mark Jensen
It's a song, a picture story book and a dance, sung onto cassette tape. Children's involvement, in listening to the story then dancing and singing the story, fully supports the pre-reading stages. When the child returns to the book he/she knows the story so well that he can "read" it himself!
Suitable for pre-schoolers and 5-6 year olds who can read more independently.
Set of cassette tape and picture book A4 size, 16 big colour illustrations.
