Schott Music Das Kinderliederbuch für Alt und Jung XXL

Music is one of the most effective pedagogical tools. It energizes, soothes, or distracts, and through its captivating nature, it increases children’s zest for life. Singing along sparks enthusiasm and serves as a valuable, instructive method. Learning content such as the ABC song, as well as rhythm and language development, is practiced playfully using children’s songs. Singing together also fosters social interaction.

Das Kinderliederbuch für Alt und Jung XXL is arranged for voice, guitar, or ukulele. The guitar is a popular accompanying instrument for communal singing, while the ukulele has become a beloved instrument across many musical genres. Its distinctive South Pacific sound fits well in a variety of styles, lending a character that is both interesting and refreshing.

With 113 songs, this book offers a comprehensive opportunity for musical engagement. In addition to traditional children’s songs, it includes well-known tunes from film, radio, and TV, as well as popular pieces by songwriters such as Rolf Zuckowski, Fredrik Vahle, Detlev Jöcker, Reinhard Lakomy, and Wolfgang Hering. The lyrics are complemented by chords and accompaniment patterns for guitar and ukulele, all arranged at an easy difficulty level. Additionally, the book encourages learning through indicated plucking patterns that introduce folk picking techniques. It’s ideal for use in nurseries or at home.

Coloring illustrations and numerous participation instructions add to the fun and make the experience even more versatile.

Particularly noteworthy is the large, practical format. Thanks to the spiral binding, the book stays open during use. Songs are spread over a maximum of two pages, so the flow of play isn’t interrupted by frequent page turns. The large typeface is easy to read even from a distance. The table of contents is organized by topic, making it easy to find songs quickly.

A playlist with all 113 songs is available on Spotify and Apple Music under 113 Children’s Songs for Old and Young.
