Conn ie Fowler has created a beautiful new song of praise with her anthem entitled Holy Is His Name. The piece features a very accessible solo as well as well-written choral parts. As the conclusion of the anthem, Connie deftly incorporates the classic hymn Holy, Holy, Holy into the fabric of the arrangement, bringing the anthem to a worshipful conclusion. A string orchestration, masterfully written by Michael Lawrence, is also available.

This DVD offers a wonderful example of the application of the First Steps in Music for Infants and Toddlers curriculum and activities in two parent/child music classes—one for infants and younger toddlers, and one for older toddlers. Master teacher and FAME-Endorsed Teacher Trainer Connie Greenwood demonstrates all eight parts of the First Steps in Music curriculum, implementing a wide variety of activities and teaching techniques. This DVD also provides an insightful bonus voice-over track where Connie along with John Feierabend guide you through the lessons, offering insights into the who, what, when, where, and why of the class and what the children are learning. If you are hoping to work with this age group or you already do, this resource is a must! Note: This DVD uses the rhyme Five Little Monkeys (13:18) and the song All the Pretty Little Horses (44:12). Since the publication of this DVD, we have learned that both songs have problematic racist histories, making them unfit for use with children. We are revising our printed curriculum materials to remove inappropriate literature. This DVD is not designed for classroom use and is only intended to provide teachers with training about the First Steps in Music pedagogy.

This book is the guide for teachers to give to all parents enrolled in First Steps in Music classes.   First Steps in Music Parent Handbook provides teachers of parent-child classes a concise and detailed resource that establishes the goals and objective for the infant and toddler or preschool classes. The primary goal of the First Steps in Music classes is for each child to reach his or her musical potential. Parent participation is the key ingredient to the success of the program. By establishing a clearly defined set of expectations for teachers, parents, and children, the parents will be able to replicate their child's classroom musical experiences at home. In Chapter 2 of the First Steps in Music Parent Handbook, the teacher and parents will find information about registration, class schedules, tuition, fees, cancellation policies, make up policies, and more. Chapter 3 gives detailed expectations for teachers, parents, and children. Chapter 4 outlines the class structure and curriculum components for each type of class. The classes are divided into four age-related sections: (1) Infants: birth to 12 months, (2) Toddler: 13 to 29 months, (3) Nursery: 30 to 42 months, (4) Preschool: 3.5 to 5 years. Chapter 5 discusses the Lending Library. Chapter 6 addresses the techniques used during class. Chapter 7 is a commitment form for the parents that says they agree to the guidelines suggested in the handbook. This much-needed book is a must for any teacher wanting to set up parent-child infant and toddler or preschool classes where the ultimate goal is to help children become musically independent and develop a lifelong love and appreciation of music as they become tuneful, beatful, and artful! Connie Greenwood is the lead teacher and director of the First Steps in Music program at the University of Hartford’s Hartt Community Division in West Hartford, CT.
