Winter Soup: A collection of playful original winter songs for children, teachers, and parents

Description

Many teachers find it challenging to locate secular winter music that is age-appropriate, engaging, educational, and takes into account the modern-day world in which we live with all its diversity. This small collection of secular winter songs hopes to address some of this inequity.

Winter Soup came out of the desire to create engaging, fun, and diverse songs for students in elementary and secondary music programs. Many different genres and styles are included – from jazz to country to funk, and all of the songs have both an accompanying original track with vocals as well as a performance track, giving teachers without access to musical resources the ability to rehearse and ultimately perform the enclosed songs with their students.

In addition, every song also has accompanying educational concepts, lesson ideas, listening suggestions, lead sheets, and for the young students, coloring pages, that can be used to help integrate both musical and school curriculums into the teaching of each song as well as correlations to national music standards.

Learn and sing a variety of songs, including:

1. Grounded on the Last Day of December  (Bossa Nova, grades 5 – 8)
2. Kickin’ These Winter Blues (Funk, grades 4 – 9 (plus choral arrangement))
3. Light a Candle (Polka/Dance, grades K- 3)
4. My Very Own Snowman (Country, grades 1 – 4)
5. The Season Full of Cold and Snow (Swing, grades 2- 5)
6. The Snowman’s Silly Song (Folk Country Fun, grades K – 3)
7. Song of the Snowflakes (Swing, grades K – 4)
8. What a Lovely Time of Year (Straight Eighth, grades K – 3)
9. The World’s Holiday Party (Samba, grades 1 – 4)
