A compilation of summer songs from my music curriculum Come Jam With Me. The curriculum is designed for families with children in grades K-2, but I found in my years of teaching that the songs, as I’d intended when choosing them, are engaging for both younger children and adults. All songs were recorded live in the studio with Anand Nayak. Cover photo of dahlia “Sunny” by Lui Collins.
The Summer Stars Songbook has lyrics, music notation, and chords for all the songs in the Summer Stars collection. For some of the songs there are additional notes, including instructions for singing games where applicable. The download comes as a PDF that can be printed out if desired. Please note that I recommend the songbook be used in conjunction with the recordings. There are nuances in the singing style that, for simplicity, are not written into the musical notation, but make an enormous difference in how the song is sung.
Songs and Songbook may also be purchased separately.
