The Book of Echo Songs

These traditional “echo songs” are built around a leader singing a phrase and a group singing the same phrase back, planting the seeds of musical sensitivity in young children. With the songs in this collection, kids can indulge their imitation tendencies and create joyful, irrepressible music at the same time. These timeless tunes allow kids to learn quickly and start making music and having fun right away.
