Album Review

For You Sing a Song and I'll Sing a Song, noted folk singer and teacher Ella Jenkins is joined by young members of the Urban Gateways Children's Chorus. It features Jenkins' familiar mix of call-and-response, historical, or worldly songs, and plenty of fun in the form of snapping fingers, clapping hands, and stamping feet. Jenkins' youthful companions will also help children at home follow along. Standouts include the title track, "Shabot Shalom," "Maori Battle Chant," and "Did You Feed My Cow?," which appears in two helpful versions.

Customer Reviews

Ella's a true master of primary music instruction.

I've been teaching elementary music for 25 years. Ella Jenkins' early material has been a staple in my primary classes. She sings in a perfect range for the child voice and her songs are instructional, simple and easy to sing. This makes a fine gift for your music educator friends. Younger teachers may not be aware of this treasure of an artist.

My Kids and I LOVED This!

I just purchased this for my 11 month old great-nephew/adopted grandson so we can listen in the car and at home when he spends days with me. My kids and I loved this album when they were growing up in the 70's and 80's. So much fun for adults and kids!

You'll Sing a Song and I'll Sing a Song

I grew up listening and singing to this music around our kitchen table at dinner time, it was some of the happiest music I had ever heard. Every child should experience the joy of these songs as well as the meanings of these songs. Outstanding! The whole family can get involved no matter what age the child, they absolutely bring everyone together. You will find yourself laughing and giggling and full of joy, I am buying it today just for the treasured and cherished memories I have still to this day and I am 43!
