We've arranged the songs in unison/optional 2 part, so that even the youngest students you teach can sing (in unison), but the 2 part arrangements will still be interesting for your upper elementary students. Taking children to sing for or with seniors at a Seniors Centre or Nursing home is a great activity for both the kids and the seniors. Inter-generational music making brings the generations together in an activity that all can enjoy. I like "Play-along with ElderSong" because it includes so many senior citizen favorites and because the songs have been transposed into singable ranges.If you are using a PO please email it to Home It is definitely easier to sing along and that makes it worth the purchase. I am not as familiar with playing in 3 #'s so that wasn't a positive for me, but not the publishers problem. I wish the paper was a better quality as I'm afraid it won't last with all the page turning you do during sing alongside. Has a variety of songs including Christmas. This makes it more difficult for me as a "nonprofessional pianist" because I like playing with fewer sharps and flats. I understand that you have written them in a lower key to accommodate the older lower voices. It's a wonderful collection of songs that most of us older folks remember from our past. Posted by Elaine C Hermle on 10th Aug 2017 Most piano players like to play keys that are written with flats, rather than sharps.Įasy to play songs and written in a lower key for everyone to enjoy! But for many, the left hand is fine.Īlso have wondered why songs are written with sharps, rather than flats. I would have liked more to the left hand accompaniment. We are a small group of seniors that have recently formed to enjoy singing, again. So far we are enjoying the music book and the 1st volume of Sing-Along. My only disappointment is that songs aren't in order according to songbook volumes. Very nice, relatively easy for average piano player, helpful chords for guitar. I surprised them with a Father's Day gift.

Their older version was in the process of dying. Plus, these songs are fun and cover all the seasons of the year.

This is especially valuable for those who have dementia as they sing familiar songs, they are sometimes able to access their speech and engage. This book is awesome, in that it has songs that the elderly in nursing homes can access easily.
