Learning Through Music 
All the songs in our LTM songbooks are ones that we -- and our colleagues -- have written and adapted for our clients over the past 20 years.
The songs are grouped in categories according to the activities they involve, or goals they address, and each individual song has
sample short-term objectives that will help you select which songs you want to use for specific purposes.
The songs are written in
singable keys (comfortable for "non-singers" because they are nearer the range of a speaking voice); and the lyrics in each song are set, melodically and rhythmically, so that
the words are pronounced as they would be in speech. Many folks have told us how they
changed one song or another so that it met the needs of a particular person -- and we're thrilled! We want these books to be a starting place for your creativity and your clients'/students' progress.
Our customers often refer to our songbooks by the colors of their covers, so we've identified them that way in the list below, in case you've had one recommended to you.
