Classic Kids' Music: Learning Basic Skills Through Music

There's a long history of creating music to be used in early childhood education classrooms, and Hap Palmer's Learning Basic Skills Through Music is a great example of one of the better results of the genre. Not as multicultural as Ella Jenkins' Call and Response: Rhythmic Group Singing or as weird as Bruce Haack's Dance Sing and Listen, Palmer's contribution to classroom-based music is quiet and gentle, easy for young children to follow lyrically, and fun for home listening and participation, as well.
