I can see why because they’re fun with a calming feel to them. Nancy’s albums are used in many schools, including Montessori schools. There are even some songs that work especially well for babies and toddlers.
They have a sweet folk-like feel to them, and the songs give positive messages to children or have helpful learning ideas. My granddaughter, Zoey, and I fell in love with them. Nancy Kopman ( Music with Nancy) sent me copies of her 3 CDs to review. This post lists some of my favorite CDs that work especially well for both babies and toddlers: Favorite CDs for Babies and Toddlers. I think the sense of rhythm and the love of music young children gain is far more important than whether a specific song or rhyme is realistic. I don’t worry about whether or not they reflect reality.

I won’t go into detail about the Montessori bells since they aren’t very practical for the home environment. I can’t cover it all here, but I do want to share some of the main ways you can explore music with toddlers and preschoolers either in the classroom or at home. There’s SO MUCH you can do with music in Montessori education. It was also one of my favorite subjects to teach as a homeschooler. Even when I was a Montessori school director and no longer teaching full-time in my Montessori school, I still taught music twice a week … simply because I had too much fun with it to stop. Music was my top extracurricular activity when I was in elementary- and high school, and I’ve never lost my love of music. I LOVE sharing musical activities with young children.
