From the distinguished music educator, Robert A. Amchin, comes Shalom Chaveirim, or “hello friends!”. As a supplement to the American Orff Schulwerk, Music for Children, this collection presents simple arrangements of eighteen songs, canons, and dance melodies from the cultural heritage of Jews throughout the world. Each piece includes an elemental orchestration, translation or transliteration, as well as useful teaching suggestions. Enriched by a series of beautiful illustrations by Robin Reikes, this publication is aimed at classroom teachers looking to discover new and engaging musical exercises, songs and activities to explore with their pupils.
