I teach conversational Spanish to elementary school children and was looking for a songbook to make class more interesting. I kept coming across this book so I ordered it. I received it yesterday and fell in love with it. I immediately sat at the piano and started playing every song. The book is beautifully illustrated and the songs are easy to learn. I also liked that the lyrics were in English also. I recommend this book highly. In fact, I'm ordering the audio today.
Buy the music that goes with the book
I read many reviews about this book before I purchased and I also purchased the music CD. What nobody else mentioned in the reviews I read (that I was very excited about when I discovered it) was that the songs are not only written in Spanish but the English translation is on the same page! This is perfect for me because I'm an adult trying to learn Spanish.That's not all! If you are a musician, even just a beginner, the musical score is also on each song's page so you can play the songs yourself.The icing on the cake is that this book is beautifully and very colorfully illustrated.
This is a fantastic collection of music for children in the elementary grades. Music and translations are also provided. The songs are traditional childhood songs and are a trememdous example of the oral tradition that continues in Latino culture today. This is an excellent resource for music and regular classroom teachers looking for authentic multicultural resources.
My daughter LOVES to sing and this book was music to her little ears! I was surprised to see so many familiar songs in spanish, it brought back lots of memories of growing up. I was amazed at the diversity of songs from various spanish-speaking countries. These songs and their origins are a MUST to pass on to our children and future generations. I wish there was music that could accompany this awesome book!
This is an excellent book full of poems and songs. All are beatifully illustrated. Our 2 1/2 year old spends a lot of time just looking at the pictures and humming the tunes. Songs are easy to learn, fun to sing, and many have hand signs.This book of songs is really helpful whether you are trying to emmerse your child in Spanish (as we are), or just exposing your child to a different culture and sounds.P.S. Don't forget to buy the companion CD!
I'm currently very emotionally fragile and I just love singing these songs to my 3 week old. It's very cathartic and helpful and my baby seems to love the songs. Orozco's accent and voice are wonderful and authentic. I love this book and CD and am so glad I bought it.
My family enjoys this CD a lot. Mr. Orozco has a wonderful voice to listen to and the lyrics are fun and interesting. One song "Paz y Libertad" is emotionally touching. It is easy to learn Spanish listening to these elegant songs. I bought the other CD, Diez Deditos as a gift for a friend's family and they like that CD too.
