Shirley –
This is your cutest book, yet! The Hiccup Song” was a true hit as my student read the piece while speaking the text! We laughed so hard when she figured out that she would have to “hic”.
Sundy DeGooyer –
The melodies in this book are perfect! And the subject matter is just right too! My students loved sight reading the tunes! The “Hiccup Song” is my personal favorite! Who doesn’t love adding the “hic” to the actual songs?! I recommend this fun one!
Nadia Talley –
It’s not often you find a book where every song is a winner. This book make sure you will use every song with your students because the fun noises they get to make entice them to want to learn every single one! They’re hits at recitals with those students who are willing to sing/perform the songs with the drama that makes them so charming!
