What people say about our books
This book is a perfect resource for an elementary music educator aiming to cultivate a vibrant, interactive classroom environment. It is packed with strategies and advice on how to make every music lesson meaningful, enjoyable, and full of learning. All the ideas presented in the book are inspired by the author’s expansive training and experience as a music educator. Therefore, all of them are worth trying!
The book also contains a glimpse of the Kodály and Orff approaches in the elementary classroom and explains why the author opted to use both methods in her classes. This is a thoughtful reflection from the author, as music educators are frequently faced with the crucial decision of which teaching method is most effective in the music classroom.
Lastly, the book contains the musical notations of all the featured folksongs and rhymes with their English translations, at the end. Some folksongs even come with an arrangement for Orff instruments!
It is definitely a book worth reading, especially for those looking to get off to a good start in elementary music teaching.

Dr. Miriam Factora's collection of Filipino folk songs and rhymes has given us a solid foundation and a clearer direction in the Philippine Music Education. The adaptation of the Kodály Approach to the Philippine setting was made possible because of her collection. It was through the use of these songs and rhymes that both teachers and students were not just able to present and learn the concepts well, but they were also able to revisit and appreciate more the Filipino culture and traditions.

Ever since I discovered Dr. Factora’s works in the Kodály courses presented by the Kodály Society of the Philippines, her books—namely Philippine Children’s Songs, Spoken Rhymes and Games for Teaching Books One and Two—have been my references for songs coming from the Filipino culture. These books have remarkably helped me in my lesson planning. I use the rhymes and games for young learners and the more complex songs to teach more complex concepts to upper-grade students.

These books are real gems for music teachers. The games, rhymes, and song selections in these books are research-based, culture-based, and values-laden. From a broad perspective, these books served as a means to provide “quality education” and answered the problem of “lack of instructional materials” for Filipino music teachers. I have used these books among music education students and in the professional development programs of Filipino teachers around the country.

I love your “Musical Folk Games of Manila, Philippines.” So much work went into this beautiful publication! Congratulations! It’s going to be a hit.
The cover is adorable. The songs are great, and the translations, illustrations, and instructions for the games are beautifully done. I love that you included so much movement.
Thank you for introducing us to the beautiful Alibata/Baybain.
This beautiful, very usable book makes me wish I were still in the classroom. I’m going to make sure our local teachers know about it.
