A must have for music, PE or dance teachers by Apple Scruff (NH)  5 Stars
February 24, 2008
I am amazed at how useful this book is. I teach music, and like to do movement with my kids. Each activity is well explained, doable, and fun! Musical suggestions are given which is helpful. Every activity I have done from this book the kids have loved. I am impressed with all John Feierabends books in that it seems he is very good at collecting and presenting info. This book is based on Laban's philosophys.
