Including an interview by John M. Feierabend How do you best engage musically with kids from birth to age five? On this remarkable DVD, Sr. Lorna Zemke—one of the most beloved and admired early childhood music educators in the United States—shares her practical wisdom and knowledge, gained over decades of classroom experience. Sr. Lorna shares props, toys, and concepts that are a true treasure trove for anyone working with young children. Her ideas literally seem to spill out of this 2.5-hour DVD and can be immediately put to use in any early childhood classroom.  Through it all, Sr. Lorna’s wonderful spirit is certain to inspire those working with young children for many generations to come. Sr. Lorna Zemke of Silver Lake College is widely recognized as a true pioneer of music education in the United States.  She was one of the first to introduce the music education approach of Zoltán Kodály to an American audience, and she established the first undergraduate Kodály music education program in the United States.  Sr. Lorna’s early childhood and Kodály music education courses have attracted legions of specialists from around the country and the world, and she is much sought after as a speaker and clinician. This is her first DVD with GIA Publications, Inc.
