A music and color-filled introduction to
musical sound and symbol for 4- to 10-year-olds. This beautifully
illustrated book presents such concepts as tempo and dynamics, as well
as standard notation. Cheetah, gorilla, frolicking frogs and other critters
introduce some of the nuts and bolts of music’s written code and
demonstrate how "special effects", such as volume
and speed, can really make notes come alive!
- 32 pages of full-color illustrations.
- Notated melodies to familiarize children with
standard musical notation and symbol.
- Companion CD containing the story
"Making Real Music," plus 11 original creature pieces
featuring melodies by young musicians.
- Lesson plan suggestions, "Creature
Feature in the Classroom", are available at no additional
cost with purchase of the book. Please request the lessons
plans when you place your order. These extend the learning to a
classical repertoire, and can be used as the basis for a camp or
music appreciation class.
This creative book is suitable for teaching
studio or in-home use. Excellent for homeschoolers because of the
movement and listening suggestions in the lesson plans. |
