FOREWORD

"The spirit of play and the imaginative world of little children are delightfully and vividly expressed through music. Music is a stimulating force which appeals to children; it vitalizes their daily lives; it arouses and satisfies their desire for rhythmic expression; it creates and develops moods; it intensifies moods already created; and it is one of the most potent means for promoting social relationships."
