Kathy Kampa’s CDs
Kathy Kampa
Much of Kathy Kampa’s professional career has been spent in Japan, where she has taught kindergarten and elementary students at Seisen International School in Tokyo for over 25 years. In addition to her classroom experience, Kathy and her husband Charles have co-authored three ELT courses for young learners published by Oxford University Press (Magic Time, Everybody Up, and the ELTon award-winning Oxford Discover). Kathy and Charles have conducted hundreds of teacher-training workshops in over twelve countries across three continents.
As a PYP (Primary Years Program) teacher, Kathy uses an inquiry-based approach to teaching through which students develop the 21st century skills of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Kathy supports the development of English language skills by creating songs, chants, and movement activities targeted to young learners’ physical and cognitive development. Her MA-TESL research topic delved into the use of music and movement to build English language skills.
Kathy has created two CDs of creative songs and chants for young learners. The first CD, Kathy Kampa’s Special Days and Holidays, celebrates events that might occur throughout a child’s year. Kathy’s second CD, Jump Jump Everyone, nurtures a child’s natural spirit of creativity and imagination. Every song that Kathy creates has been developed with her students in her classroom, and offers opportunities to build confidence in English as children move and sing together.
Kathy Kampa’s Special Days and Holidays CD
This is what teachers and parents of young children have been waiting for — a collection of original “special day” songs and holiday songs inspired and created in the classroom! Teacher, author, and songwriter Kathy Kampa has taught English, music, and movement to young learners for over 25 years. These 15 songs are among her favorites — the songs her students ask to sing and dance to again and again. Kathy Kampa’s Special Days and Holidays is truly a collection of “songs to move to throughout the year.”
Each CD is enclosed in a colorful hardcover Digi-Pak (NOT plastic), which contains a handy attached book of song lyrics.
