(Orff Companion)1 review Donna Dirksing Heritage Music Press, 2006 Great for K-3 I am a classroom music teacher (K-6) and have used this product several times. It is a fun way to get students singing solos, easing the assessment process. I think it is better for primary students, though there are activities/songs designed for older students. It's just that my 4th-6th graders would find some of it too babyish.             Hogey's Journey: A Memoir by Eph Ehly2 reviews Eph Ehly Heritage Music Press, 2005 Hogey's Journey by Eph Ehly This book is much more profound than its down-home approach indicates.

Heritage Music Press, 2005 Good Ideas I thought this book had really good ideas but was lacking in material. For instance, it gives you a "starting point" on many of the games but then it is up to you to take it from there. It definitely gave me something to work with and some great ideas. If you are looking for ideas and a place to start this is a great book. If you are looking for all your materials already made, quiz questions ...             Brain Busters: Picture Puzzles to Sharpen Right-Brain Thinking and Music Knowledge (Grades 3+)1 review Brenda Knowis Heritage Music Press, 2006 Book not what I was hoping for...
