Music and Drill

Description

Introduce Swedish Drill into your homeschool with these simple and enjoyable exercises, set to the music of familiar old English folk songs.

First published for school children in 1886, even the youngest students can find enjoyment and success with these simple movements, carefully performed on command and in time to music. Through the twenty-five exercises featured in this book, children will learn to listen attentively, respond promptly and coordinate their movements. They will develop greater control and precision in directing their bodies, while learning to follow instructions readily.  Whether used as a standalone programme or as a supplement to another drill resource, this book is sure to become a much-loved feature of your school days, one you will return to time and time again.

All the music featured in this book has been professionally transcribed and recorded by concert pianist Tim Goss. When you purchase the set of recordings of the music you will get two versions: a set with spoken commands and a set without, allowing you to choose whichever best suits your needs. For those using a Yoto Player, we have also provided a free Yoto MYO label, which can be downloaded from this page. The recordings are available to purchase separately or as part of a book and music bundle. Please note the music is provided in digital format only. Photos are for illustrative purposes only.
