"Marveouls Mouth Music" will introduce a child to the joy of making sounds. On this CD you will explore the sounds that develop into the building blocks of speech, which will eventually become a child's primary mode of communication.
The Songames and activities have appeal for all children, regardless of ability or "diagnosis," and whether or not they have a specific speech/language problem. Spontaneous, active play happens! Children labeled autistic will respond to the invitation to play with sound and will be encouraged to expand their language possibilities. Siblings and parents of children with special needs will find common ground in enjoying the fun and creativity "Marveous Mouth Music" offers.
The Songames on "Marvelous Mouth Music" were developed to provide a montage of movement and sound patterns, which encourage early pre-speech development. Melodies were selected from the realm of traditional music or were created with an ear for simple, repeated melodic phrases put to a clear rhythm.
Although specific sound and pre-speech patterns were built into each song, the emphasis was placed on the delight of making sounds. This is not a recording about speech drills and practice. It is a collection of songs and sound variations that are fun and playful.
