In the Light of the Developing Child (2nd Edition)

This book is for music teachers and class teachers in Waldorf Schools
who are searching for age-appropriate songs and guidelines for developing
a music curriculum based on insight into child development. It also provides
a treasure-trove of songs and insights for home-schooling parents. It includes

• 213 Songs for grades one through eight, with suggested activities and
notes for teachers;
• 3 CDs with recordings of songs for first, second, and third grades for
teachers to learn by listening;
• introductions to each of the grades, providing pedagogical insights and
practical suggestions.

“Diane Ingraham Barnes, a highly regarded teacher who has spent a lifetime
devoted to music, has assembled this beautiful collection of songs and
commentaries that should be an important addition to any classroom or
library. From the tender wholeness of the mood of the fifth, to the expansive
pentatonic, to enlivening folk tunes and the diatonic profusion stretching
from silliness and joy to sorrow and profundity—a foundation is laid for the
blossoming of harmony and polyphony. In this collection one can trace
prepare their bodily instruments for sounding the soul and spirit.”
—Gayle Davis, Rudolf Steiner College
