Book Description From the Introduction
Folksongs of Samoa is a collection of traditional, folk, love, and game songs for children. It is being introduced as a supplement to the Elementary Music Curriculum in an attempt to revive and preserve
old Samoan songs. The selections in this volume lend themselves to a broad range of school and home activities. Many were taught by yesterday's Early Childhood Education teachers, whose main intention was to select tunes that could be easily sung and memorized by children. Others were passed from generation to generation through musical performance, and not musical notation.
