A Little Birdsong, music for young children, schools and families

"Emma Hutchinson sees every parent as a music teacher. It sounds idealistic, but when you see her book, and it’s winning illustrations, you’ll realise that her vision is a completely practical, richly rewarding way of introducing children to music."– Tom Payne, Teacher, Daily Telegraph Journalist and parent

"I don't think you can beat those tracks where you have the instruments playing at alternating tempos, like coming round the mountain and Mary had a little lamb – I have used them SO much." – Adelaide Carlow, Ashtree Music School, Scotland

A Little Birdsong is Emma’s first book and CD, especially for teachers and parents of under fives. A wonderful book and CD to introduce children to music, with 36 nursery rhymes and songs. The CD includes both sung and instrumental versions of each song.

A Little Birdsong Two is also especially for teachers and parents of under fives. A wonderful book, it particularly focuses on songs about animals and water.

A Little Birdsong - Tales and A Little Birdsong - More Tales take fourteen songs from the first Birdsong and add charming stories and beautiful illustrations to create wonderful picture books for children. Each book comes with a CD with all fourteen songs from that book.
