Music is one of the most effective pedagogical tools. It energizes, soothes, and distracts, while its captivating nature boosts children’s zest for life. Singing along sparks enthusiasm and serves as a valuable and instructive method. Learning content such as the ABC song, as well as rhythm and language development, is practiced playfully through children’s songs. Singing together also promotes social interaction.
With 113 songs, Das Kinderliederbuch für Alt und Jung offers a comprehensive source of musical engagement. Alongside traditional children’s songs, it features well-known tunes from film, radio, and TV, as well as popular pieces by songwriters like Rolf Zuckowski, Fredrik Vahle, Detlev Jöcker, Reinhard Lakomy, and Wolfgang Hering. The lyrics include necessary guitar chords and accompaniment patterns, all arranged at an easy difficulty level. This makes it ideal for use in kindergartens or at home.
Coloring illustrations and numerous participation instructions add to the fun and make the activities versatile. The table of contents is organized by topic, making it easy to find songs. A playlist with all 113 songs is available on Spotify and Apple Music under “113 Children’s Songs for Old and Young.”
