Rev. ed. By Michiko Yurko. This is still one of the best books of music reading and theory games for children. Her "everyone wins" philosphy makes these great cooperative learning tools, too. Part 1 is an explanation of philosophy, ideas for teaching and a summary of the games method. Part 2 features over 200 varied games, each listing objectives, summary, materials needed, ages, repetitions, procedure. The games range from preschool to upper elementary and older, and cover all aspects of basic theory--staff, notes, rhythms, symbols, scales, chords and more. An incredible resource. 430 pp. paperback.
