Start with a Song is a wonderful collection of songs, which has been specially composed for pre-school children by Mavis de Mierre throughout many years of running music sessions for young children and their parents and carers. The tunes are easy to learn and will appeal immediately to 2–5 year olds.

The teachers' notes give:

• suggestions for actions
• musical accompaniments
• ideas for further development
• things to talk about
• suggestions for music listening

The songs are grouped into popular early years topics making it easy to integrate them into the curriculum.

The CD contains 40 of the most popular songs from the book and will provide an invaluable resource for teachers and parents who wish to learn and use the songs, but lack the ability to read music.
