Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When children are struggling with anything, particularly an instrument, they forget that learning can be fun. They need to be reminded that they are 'playing,' not 'working' an instrument! A CaChoo is a fun symbol of accomplishment, no more than a line drawn by a child on a page\* with a flourish. We exuberantly exclaim 'CaChoo!' in order to inspire him or her to practice and to 'do it again' until the material is mastered. Mastery can be an abstract concept but the 'CaChoo method' makes it concrete: the children know they have to 'get' it on their own and eventually play it with no mistakes. If the piece is challenging, I say a child can get a CaChoo after playing it correctly three times in a row. That's because after three times, our hands revert to automatic and we need to direct our hands with our 'minds' by telling our hands out loud what to do. The beauty of a CaChoo is that it is so simple. It comes from the child, with only the go-ahead from the teacher. This allows for open ended creativity on the child's part to make it truly his or her own. By using a CaChoo even the youngest children can express their uniqueness with their own 'signature' without needing to know how to write. I use CaChoos for teaching music but they apply to any subject! The CaChoos are small enough so that they allow the children to still be able to read the material on the page while leaving a proud track of their achievements. I have been utterly delighted at what imaginative variations children have come up with and how they have owned 'the concept of CaChooing' so easily. What is more satisfying than crossing off an item on your list Here we do it with flair! Not to mention pride, joy, and applause. CaChooing has helped the children replace their self-doubt with confidence and push them beyond just 'getting by' with a willingness to polish their work as if they were a diamond! No longer do we have to explain what mastery is. We just do it and CaChoo It.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is based on a true story of the life and death of Maccabee, a family's beloved dog. I hope it will help families deal not only with the loss of a cherished pet but also facilitate discussions that enable young children to cope with the death of anyone they love. Readers have said that the story helped them prepare in anticipation of losing their pet by using the phrasing to explain to a young child that someone they love has passed away. I hope that this tale will also give parents courage to share their own feelings openly and create sacred moments around the rituals of loss. These moments may be the ones that the family will cherish most when they look back. All we have is love and time. Love is boundless and limitless, Time, however, is finite. And like the beating of our hearts, we rarely notice it until we lose someone entirely and what we took for granted is gone. Each beat is precious and each moment it punctuates is fleeting. May every moment be a gift for the taking, and enrich the meaning of the word 'present.'. Geist, Samantha (illustratore).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The song, A Box of Crayons, is about expanding a child's imagination. I wrote and sang this song to the children I babysat at 13 years old. Over the year's I have added additional verses and a chorus. My song has entertained hundreds of children in schools, libraries, and birthday parties, and encouraged them to use their imagination and 'paint what they imagined' in the air. Given scarves as props, they would whoosh the scarves and 'paint' with the colors they held in their hands. Afterwards, I would ask them to 'hang it up' in the air and 'show' everyone what they had painted, delighting in their detailed descriptions. Recently I found that the song helps soothe my mother, an Alzheimer's patient in a loving care facility near my home. Mom attentively read each page and her focus was longer than any other time I had seen before. I am now proud to present the printed version of my song 'A Box of Crayons' with charming illustrations done with love and care by Vicky Yuh. My delightfully artistic music student, Samantha Geist, also generously took her time and care to color in a number of the illustrations in order to make the book come alive. I believe this is a way to present coloring that is apropos to a child's range of skills and expression rather than having been interpreted by an adult artist. I hope the combination of singing to the song and coloring in and around the illustrations will be a lovely way for children and their parents or caregivers to wind down at bedtime or any other quiet time they are together. Coloring has been found to be an effective form of reducing anxiety, so coloring and singing together ideally will comfort those who respond to either or both. …
