TONY WILSON "NURSERY RHYMES" #2 For young children EYFS

2/4 AUDIO ONLY Taken from the CD "The house that Jack and Jill built" This is a selection of songs for very young children. Humpty dumpty/ Baa baa black sheep/ Hickory dickory dock/ Oh dear! What can the matter be?/ Yankee Doodle/ I had a little nut tree. I have used the colours of the rainbow in the titling to let the children know when it will come to an end.... and to use as a bargaining tool when letting them know it's coming to an end and it's time for bed. I have sung the songs in the way that I sing all songs and not in a 'toddlerese' voice, as I know the effect that had on me when I listened to songs with my children. A lot of the versions of the words I got from the 78s that I had as a child. It was a disc with a small hole just at the edge of the label and you had to turn it with a knitting needle. Obviously you couldn't keep it at a constant speed so I was amazed when we got a powered record player that it sounded consistent and audible.

What I wanted to do was give an interpretation to songs that have a great melody and sing them as an adult would.

I am so pleased that you like them.

I have listened to these and each of 43 nursery rhymes, as interpreted by you, with wonderful instrumental accompaniment.

The warmth of your voice and the charm of the instruments are a joy for all, children and adults alike.
