Below is just a sample of what you will find in The
Joyful Child. However, the Michael Olaf catalogues contain 160 pages
of text and products so we highly recommend that you order your own paper
copy and curl up with it in a peaceful moment instead of spending more
time on the computer!

At an international Suzuki conference where I was speaking about Montessori a few years ago, I saw a presentation of the Suzuki Baby Class that was very inspiring. Thanks to the help of the Jones family in Canada, who created this for Dr. Suzuki, we are now able to offer this curriculum guide and music in our catalogue.
The CD contains the basic lullabies, action songs and rhymes used by the Suzuki Baby Class teachers. The 12-page booklet gives an overview of the following: the Suzuki philosophy, Suzuki early childhood education, how to create a stimulating environment at home, the baby class curriculum, what is developmentally appropriate, the baby class skills list, and the lyrics of the songs.

CHILDREN'S PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS
These percussion instruments are made for children, but they are still
of very high quality, made or natural materials (no plastic) that meet
our standards. Any of the following percussion instruments are appropriate
for the home. For the infant community we recommend having several of
each so the teacher can introduce the same kind of instrument at once
to a small group of children.
The hardwood claves, typical of music all over the world, are 8"
long. The 4.5" metal triangle comes from the USA. The wooden frogs,
base (bull frog, approximately 8" long) and treble (tree frog, approximately
4" long) which really sound like frogs when the striker is rubbed
across the back ridges, come to us from Southeast Asia. The wooden egg
shakers (2.25") and the strap of sleigh bells (9.75" long) are
from the USA. Our 6.25" hardwood wood block is a professional instrument
made in Thailand, striker included.
