Curriculum Resources

  • Music Resources

    more

    As we’re at the start of a new school year, music teachers, class teachers in Steiner schools, and parents keen to help their children learn music, may be interested to know that I have recently had some of my out-of-print books re-run.

    1. SONGS OF THE TREE OF LIFE vol. 1: 20 copies are now available, for $25 each. Sound files are also available.
    NB Teachers of classes 1 and 2 who are using or aim to use diatonic descant recorders rather than pentatonic recorders, are welcome to email me for versions of these songs in keys more suitable to the diatonic descant recorder.

    2. MUSICIANSHIP MAGIC: 10 copies are left, for $20. This is helpful for older beginners (ie children in classes 4 and above who have missed out on the class 3 introduction to music notation…)

    3. PLAY ON!: My fulsome curriculum for teaching the recorder, covering pentatonic, diatonic descant and treble, for all levels, is now available via the on-demand publisher Lulu for $60

    4. MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE: is a small handbook for parents-$10.

    5. SONGS OF THE TREE OF LIFE vol. 2 – this is not reprinted, but a scanned version is available for $15.

    Payment details are on my website: judithclingan.net.au

    Class 3 Curriculum Resource: Hebrew Songs and Dances

    Selected and Annotated by Diane Tatum

    Hebrew Songs and Dances is a valuable resource for Class 3 teachers looking for practical and inspiring material for morning circle.

    The resource highlights the deep inter-relationships between the developmental stage of Class 3 children, the cultural content of the curriculum and the significance of age-appropriate musical and movement skills.

    The dances of the Hebrew folk tradition, with their lively crossover patterns, timing and teamwork, bring a much longed-for sense of strength and empowerment to the early end of the ‘Nine-Year Change’. The evocative melodies of Hebrew songs provide a stirring accompaniment to morning circle work during the Old Testament main lessons, and can be practiced throughout the year.

    The Hebrew Songs and Dances resource includes:

    1. A manual with sheet music, summaries of the dance steps and cues for teaching. The songs are a well-rounded mixture of:
    • Traditional Hebrew rounds suited to learning part-singing in Class 3.
    • Hebrew songs with original English renderings.
    • Original lyrics purpose-written for specific scenes in class plays, based on traditional Hebrew melodies.
    • Songs originally composed in English from traditional sources or by other songwriters, which support aspects of the Old Testament Main Lesson and lend themselves to class plays and morning circle work.
    1. A DVD/USB with instructional videos for teaching 7 dances.
    2. An audio CD/USB with 35 tracks – great for listening to in the car!
    3. A page of introduction to the Hebrew Alphabet
    4. The First Day of Creation from Genesis, printed in English and Hebrew, including a Hebrew pronunciation guide.
    5. BONUS TRACK: Audio recording of the First Day of Creation in Hebrew.

    To order Hebrew Songs and Dances, please contact diane.tatum@optusnet.com.au.

    The cost of this resource, including updates, is $100, postage paid.

    Our spiritual investment

    A BOOK TO SUPPORT THE PARENTING, TEACHING AND EDUCATION OF CHILDREN, THEREBY NOURISHING A MORE HARMONIOUS SOCIETY

    Digital copy (ISBN 9781301401390) now available for download

    To review/purchase, have a look at:

    Amazon Kindle http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B57UJ8A
    Apple/iTunes iBook iPad iPhone https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/teach-the-children-well/id602969384?ls=1
    ePub reader https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/278277

    If you interested in children, education and humanity’s future, then this book is for you.

    True education has a critical mission to play on the planet. This book illustrates some of the potential pitfalls of certain education streams, and offers ideas to support the liberation of the individual human spirit.

    Educating consciousness should become an important focus, enabling free thinking and self directed humans to give unselfish purpose to their lives. For these ideals to flourish, good foundations need to be laid in early life.

    This book outlines some of those foundation pathways leading to balanced humans who can contribute to greater balance in our western societies.

    “… I would love to see this book being read far and wide by teachers, would-be teachers, politicians and especially parents.”

  • Topics in Mathematics for the 11th Grade

    more

    Based on teaching practices in Waldorf schools

    The series Mathematics for the High School was specifically designed with math teachers in mind. Not only are the books a useful resource for gaining familiarity with teaching approaches used in a Waldorf school, but they are also a source of inspiration – offering fresh perspectives and new insights — for courses that have perhaps been taught many times

    This book contains experienced teachers’ suggestions for lesson blocks covering topics taught in the 11th grade in the Waldorf curriculum. Themes include:
    – Analytical Geometry
    – Projective Geometry
    – Spherical Geometry
    – Sequences and Limits
    The emphasis is on projective geometry, since this topic is not very familiar to most teachers.

    The material is not only described theoretically, but includes many examples, exercises and “hands-on” hints for the lesson. Some information about the historical background of the major themes rounds out many of the contributions.

    Editor: Robert Neumann
    Authors: Peter Baum, Karl-F. Georg, Uwe Hansen, Markus Hünig, Klaus Labudde, Rolf Rosbigalle, Stephan Sigler
