Tunes and Grooves for Music Education: Music for Classroom Use.(Book review)

Who knew that Benjamin Franklin went to France to teach the ladies how to dance? Or that the "Buzzard Lope" is a song for a ring dance with a high-stepping male dancer in the center who pantomimes the bird's approach to a carcass? These and many other interesting facts are found within the pages of Tunes and Grooves for Music Education.
As a specialist in early childhood music and group piano instruction, I find Tunes and Grooves an invaluable resource. This compilation of music from around the world including Africa, Asia and the Americas may be used by classroom teachers, university students and music therapists. Included are lullabies, singing games, story songs and ballads, songs of love, dance music, work and worship, percussion ensembles, and traditional European rounds and canons. Campbell provides a wealth of material, as well as practical suggestions for incorporating melodies ("Tunes") and rhythms ("Grooves") in classrooms, performance and early childhood classes. The "Grooves" include a culturally diverse set of rhythms from which percussion pieces and drumming ensembles may be developed.
