Mister Monday & Other Songs for the Teaching of English
From Teflpedia
Mister Monday & Other Songs for the Teaching of English is a folk music album by The Solid British Hat Band,[1] a group consisting of Dede Brewer, Gil Eden, Ken Wilson[2] and Michael Klein. Released in 1971 as a Vinyl LP, and later on audio casette, Wilson claims that it wast the “first-ever album of English language teaching songs”[3] and appears to be pioneering in its use of music for teaching EFL.[4]
Each song also explored a grammar point. An accompanying teacher’s book was also provided.
A follow-up album was later released under "Ken Wilson and the Solid British Hat Band" entitled Goodbye Rainbows.[5]
