Pondpaddler's Fandango

By Francyl Gawryn

These songs are gathered from my work of teaching music and singing with the children at Northwest Child Development Center over the last few years.  Some are my own creations.  Many of these songs are favorites of the children at the center, and at home.  It is my hope in making this collection, that parents and children will be encouraged to develop habits of singing, enjoying and making music together.  Such habits can contribute to the strength of a rich and wholesome family life as well as encouraging the development of music skills.  In addition to singing along, I encourage you and your child to act out the songs, dance with scarves, or play along with any instruments that you may have.  At the Center we have used bells, maracas, drums, rhythm sticks, and xylophones. We also explore different ways we can move to the beat as well as passive listening while working at other tasks.  I hope you will explore with your children the many wonderful ways that music can enrich your lives together. 

God bless!

Here's what others are saying about Pond Paddler's Fandango. . .

     "Pond Paddler's Fandango is a wonderful CD for children.  The first time I played it for my class of one year olds, they reacted with enthusiasm, moving to the music and dancing!  They have enjoyed the CD over and over again.  It is great for a class of children, or in the car, or at home.  It is joyful music!"
