Guest Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 budget is tight in my new job and i wondered about music express for reception? Do you find it good? Is it necessary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Its not necessary. It is good especially for non music specialists but what else have you got in school? There some discount on online purchases at the publishers website---A&C Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well if the others use it, I would say definitely go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I'd definately go for it, especially if other year groups in school use it. I use it in my class and have done in every class I've taught in! They love the bounce the teddy song and the hello songs which I start every music session with.

Guest Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have used music express in reception for several years as I am not a music specialist. The kids love it and the CD rom's included are really useful. All the teachers in other year groups use it too, so there is a good sense of continuity. I also use Sticky Kids CD's for quick action songs and warm up's in P.E. Fantastic resource. Munch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublinbay Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 We've only ever used the Sticky Kids for our p.e. sessions. Never actually heard of music express - is it just cd's and tapes? Is there any guidence for using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Our school purchased Music Express last year. I have used it for the reception children this year and they love the songs. Noah's Ark is probably their favourite so far. It is a bit different from other song books as there is a real focus on rhythm. Some songs are almost chant like. If you go to A&C Black you can hear samples. www.acblack.com/catalogue/category.asp?dept_id=10&category_id=183 - 43k - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
