Iza Trapani's "Twinkle Twinkle" accompaniment MP3
I LOVE Iza Trapani's books and, as a music teacher, I love to sing them to the class so I have created this MPS file to do just that. This recording was built to support her "Twinkle Twinkle" book and all the extra verses.
The music is from Mozart "Variations on 'Ah vous dirai-je Maman'" a public domain work that I have chopped up and rearranged to fit the book exactly. There are several places where there is no text and my accompaniment allows for that.

Each participant steps forward to read his stanza in awkward, silly and entertaining styles. By the end, we hear the full performance with each speaker giving his all for the crowd.
The vocals are unusual and filled with aural hooks and references for the auditory learned to seize upon, enjoy and connect. The nearly 13 minutes goes through the entir
