\"\"<\/a>The wonderful Singing Hands duo are in the process of making some new material for older students.\u00a0 A great idea for
\nbirthday or Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n

All our staff and pupils love watching the duo in action and love to see new songs when they appear.I’m writing about a Singing Hands<\/u> Pledge Campaign that we have launched to create a fresh
\nand contemporary album and DVD of popular songs for older children\/teenagers and adults who use MAKATON. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tracy and I are well known for the workshops we offer and the
\nEarly Years\/schools resources that we created.\u00a0 But we now want
\nto create a DVD and CD album featuring popular hit songs based
\non the theme of friendship and happiness for older
\nchildren who are transitioning away from nursery rhymes, young people & adults.\u00a0 We are making this DVD is association with the Makaton Charity and we will be raising funds for them via royalities, plus there is also a fund-raising element as part of our pledge – 5% of the proceeds will be donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association.<\/p>\n

The songs feature fantastic vocabulary with relevant concepts, great melodies and interesting new signs and will appeal to ALL
\nyour students\/clients (and the parents\/carers will LOVE the
\nnew songs too!!).\u00a0 The songs will provide a refreshing new
\nrepetoire to engage and motivate their children and develop
\ntheir communication in new ways. \u00a0The music will be
\nre-arranged in tempos and keys that are accessible for the
\nmajority of people to join in – we will not be lip-syncing to
\nthe original material. \u00a0The resources will be available as
\nphysical products or can be downloaded on iPads\/tablets.
\nPerhaps those of you working in schools could include this information in your school newsletter \/ Parentmail?<\/p>\n

BUT\u2026\u2026..(there’s always a but!) we are crowd-funding in order
\nto make this resource – the families\/practitioners won’t be
\ndonating to us, they will simply need to pre-order<\/u><\/strong> the item (or book one of the Pledge Experiences) to support us.\u00a0 We only have until Midnight on June 17th<\/u><\/strong> to hit our target or this will not get made<\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0 Please help and pre-order yourselves too TODAY!<\/p>\n
