Rhymes and Songs is a series of video-based classroom music lessons for foundation to year 2 students based on the much loved book and audio resources by the late Richard Gill AO: Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star and How I Wonder, published by Devirra Publications.
Each video features a rhyme or song from the collection and is presented by one of the lead music teacher mentors in the program. They are designed for young children to explore without supervision or as a classroom resource.
