From Wibbleton to Wobbleton: Adventures with the Elements of Music and Movement (3) (The Pentatonic Press Integrated Learning Series)

I had the pleasure of attending a conference where James Harding presented activities from this book. They were so engaging and fun, I immediately ordered it! The lessons are organized with very clear instructions, and the illustrations make me smile during lesson planning. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like their students to have more of a hands-on, whole class approach to music!

Excellent resource! Clear directions and illustrations. Engaging activities and spectacularly written. Great for Orff Specialists, as well as for educators who are trying to learn about Orff, learn MORE about Orff activities, or folks who long to blend their knowledge of Kodaly concepts and sequential method WITH Orff ideas and techniques. It's a grand resource to own! Well done!

This is a FANTASTIC, user-friendly and TRULY Orff-based resource. Pick this up today, and have tons of GREAT Audra’s to implement tomorrow!

If you like the Orff approach to teaching elementary music you will be very pleased with this book. James Harding is definitely a master teacher.

As a former student of James', I knew this book would be gold, but it went even above those high expectations. The lessons are engaging and innovative and James' light-hearted style is evident. The book made me smile countless times! Some of my favorite lessons and opportunities for student learning include: Friday the 13th, Cuckoo and Eggs, Loose Teeth, and The Wise Old Owl. A must for any Orff educator!

Playful...

It's perfect book. Amazing, interesting. It helps me so much.

I love reading this book. James inspires creativity and artistry. I get great ideas each time I open it up!

Fantastic resource for anyone teaching music in schools. Lots of ideas for using rhymes, proverbs, singing games,props, instruments to teach music and link across the curriculum to other subjects. For example, brilliant ideas for using paper plates as props to support teaching a wide range of musical concepts. Also, lots of ideas for turning comparatively simple rhymes and songs into performances that would be great for assemblies or school shows. Detailed enough for music specialists and non specialists alike. I can't wait to put the ideas into practice.

Excellent resource for primary and junior music classrooms
