SONGS FOR KIDS

Resources for teachers and kids

The Right Way Round represents just a few of the many songs Lorraine has written for little people. In 1979, her collection – The Fix-it Man: Songs for schools – was published by Macmillan Australia.

​Many other songs have been published in the Sounds Fun, Sounds Great and Sounds Magic series (Education Department of Victoria), the ABC SING books as well as Storyworld and Listen (ABC programs for infants).

 I am a primary school music specialist in Perth and I so frequently used your delightful songs from The Right Way Round for years, as well as songs of yours that were in the ABC Sing books. I am so pleased The Right Way Round is available as a book + mp3 files. I’ll order those today to add to my school’s library of resources.

 I’m happy to report that my Year 3 and Year 4 songs are almost exclusively by you this year, having bought your book and cd and the downloads to them all. They’re such fun and so perfect for this age group.
Kind regards, Alison Conroy Music Specialist, Nedlands Primary School, WA

I’d like to thank you very much for your speedy reply to my letter…I’ll look forward to receiving my copy of “The Right Way Round” and being able to use it with my classes. Most of the classes have already had the pleasure of learning some of your songs by means of the ABC “Sing” Books – and love ‘em!
Finally, I feel I’d like to let you know how much I enjoy your songs and arrangements. They’re great to listen to, a delight to perform and… different (in a nice way!). I admire your talents very much.
