Favorite Dance and Play Along Songs

One of my favorite play along songs is Buggy Ride played by Wynton Marsalis. Unfortunately I can't put the version I like from YouTube on here but if you click on the title it will link you to it.  It's a fun jazz song from the Charlie Brown soundtrack.  Have fun listening for jazz band instruments, (such as the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, bass, drums, and piano), playing along with instruments, and dancing.

Hoe-Down by Aaron Copland is another song I love to use with little ones.  We've danced to this song in almost every class I've taught.  Have fun pretending like you're cowboys out West riding your horses while listening to the orchestra play.  Listen for the horses to go fast, slow, jump, fall asleep, and go again!




More favorite songs to come soon....
