 Music from The Lester Family ~ Tapes only on saleOffered are two CDs promoting the breastfeeding relationship and healthy family ideals and two educational CDs so you can learn to successfully teach your family, homeschoolers, or class, how to sing in 2, 3, and 4 part harmony. Lyrics included. Note: children can generally learn to sing rounds and engage in part singing at about 9 or 10 years old. Only My MamaIn relation to a woman's entire life, her nursing experience is a brief one. Too brief! It is a sweet but poignant interlude between the self-centered life of a young woman and the busy, sometimes trying life of a mother with growing children. This CD was made to honor mothers and babies, their unique relationship as a nursing couple, and baby's relationship to the family. The lyrics are entertaining and the tunes catchy.
One More Person to LoveAside from promoting and supporting the breastfeeding relationship in a loving family, this CD has a broader purpose: to promote ideals. It is the goal of Steve and Darlene to support what you really want your children to learn and be: people who treat others the way they want to be treated, people who can truly commit in relationships and rise above difficulties, people who look for and praise the good in others, people who respond with nurturing ideals. It is our hope this CD of beautiful songs helps towards that end.
Homestyle HarmonyThe next step after Traditional Rounds and Canons. Now each person has to sing completely different notes from the other singers, resulting in 2, 3, and 4 part harmony. This is an exciting step! They use a unique method to teach you these songs. First, each part (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) is sung separately and then all together. By hearing your part "lifted out" of the group, you can memorize it and then you'll be able to sing along with them in the ensemble. Try it, it’s as easy as it sounds and you'll find it exhilarating and deeply satisfying!
