[HANASHIR:9424] Re: Torah in song for 5-6 year olds

[Ilana and Mark Axel <axelsinchicago...>]

The songswrite anthology does have some music on it
that is accesible to children. For more material with
choruses that can be sung with the kids, even if while
listening to the recorded songs, check out Sam
Glaser's CD and printed music "Kol Bamidbar".
Available from Glaser Musicworks. On the CDs it says
to "Call 1-800-9-SammyG". Ive used some of this
material very succesfully with kids, though not
exclusively with 5-6 year olds.
Good luck!
