Hello Jules,
Thanks for the feedback.
Here are the lyrics:
CHORUS
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a waitin'
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
VERSE
When the sun comes up
And the first Quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a waitin'
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Chorus
CHORUS
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a waitin'
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

Please accept my apology for overreacting! I have recently started a new position as a kindergarten creative movement teacher and I am trying to also integrate music into the curriculum. I don’t have a lot of experience with music and I find myself wasting a lot of time looking for good material online…there is a lot of junk out there! I was taken back when I saw grades 5-8 on the cover page, but now realize the information is relevant to what I am looking for.
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. ~Michelle

mlhastings re: Music Activity Book for Classroom Teachers: K - 2nd
I was just about to post this and stopped myself...I am very disappointed! The title of this was "Music Activity Book for Classroom Teachers: K - 2nd" after downloading it then says on the first page, Music Activity Book Focus Grade: 5 - 8
I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS...I TEACH KINDERGARTEN! I think this should have been clearly stated in the title. ~Michelle

Dear Michelle:
Thank you for letting me know about the error on the cover page. I've had this file on Teacherspayteachers.com and you're the first one to tell me. The book is for grades Kinder - 2nd. The curriculum content is aligned with these grades. If you are not satisfied with the book, please email at info@operacultura.org and I'll be happy to send you a refund.
My best,
Hector Armienta

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Teaching Artist - Music Educator - Composer. That's me in a Nutshell. For over 20 years, I taught music in classrooms throughout California and brought the joy of music to children. I also had the opportunity to serve as program director for several music education organizations. As a music educator, my goal now is to provide fun filled and content rich music lesson plans that ANYONE can use - classroom teachers, parents and music teachers. In some cases, they are connected to other curriculum areas.
MY TEACHING STYLE
When I was teaching music in the schools, many of the children called Mr. Hector and I loved it! My teaching style included giving children hands on experience with simple percussion instruments, opportunities to sing, and lots of movement. You'll find that many of the activities I've created do the same thing. Very fun and very engaging.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
As a composer working in arts education, my work has received support from the NEA, Meet the Composer, and others. I have served on the San Francisco Arts Education Master Plan, asked to speak at the Music in Education National Consortium, and other venues.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Bachelor of Music - CalArts Masters of Music - SF Conservatory of Music
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Much of my time now is spent on composing, teaching piano, and directing an opera company. You can find out more about me at www.operacultura.org or http://hectorarmientapianostudio.com/
