Music for the Lesson

Here are some tracks I made that you can download and copy to a CD. Take the CD to class to help you sing the songs and pronounce the words for the flashcards. Use the Phonics track before class to practice your own pronunciation.

• ABC song. A-b-c-d-e-f-g, h-i-j-k-l-m-n.... English style, more common in Japan, easier to hear the letters l-m-n-o-p.
• Phonics Flash Card review set. Each word is repeated twice, in order. With a beat. You can use it to practice your own pronunciation, too.
• Happy Birthday song. 'Cause there'll be days when you wish you had it...
• Be My Echo song. I sing a few letter sounds to get you going.
