[FA Worldmusic] FW: World Music Curriculum (info request)

[Yusuf Gandhi]

Many of you may not know, but PERU NEGRO and their manager, Juan Morillo
(who is a teacher by profession) have on most of their tours in North
America (in whichever city it is possible) done free
lecture-demonstration-performances for inner city school kids, for over
3 years now (ever since they have been coming to the USA).

Best regards
Yusuf

Hi all!

We've been creating and distributing the kinds of resources Bernadette
is
interested in, since 1985. Go to www.worldmusicpress.com to see our
offerings, all geared toward classroom use, and all providing an
authentic
collection of childrens songs, insight into the culture by the primary
authors (always a cultural insider), most include crafts, recipes,
common
words and phrases, maps, photos, and a full CD of everything in the
book.
Bernadette, if you'd like to call me I"d be happy to brainstorm with
you.
(Contact info below my name.)

Bob Haddad (Music of the World) put together a World Music study guide
for schools. It's Glencoe-McGraw Hill World Music and it comes with  a
teacher's guide, student activities and 2 CDs.
