Customer Reviews

Great for Non-Musical Parents and Teachers

I am not the most musically-inclined homeschooler, but this has saved my kids from the same fate. It has great explanations for teachers, concepts broken down into simple and approachable components and fabulous activities. The appendices are invaluable: Annotated Bibliography of General Literature for Children, ...of Musical Literature for Children, Discography, Subject Guide, Glossary of Musical Terms, Referenced Books for Adults, ...for Children, Recordings for Children. So much more than just helping children read musical notation, this book offers instructive paths to building a great foundation for musical appreciation and understanding.

Music, Literature and Homeschool

I have borrowed this book from the library numerous times and now it has to be on my homeschool resource list. It is a great supplement to your curriculum. It helps with introductory exposure to the basic elements of music and uses literature.
