What's the best way to learn concepts? Through experience! How about a great way to memorize facts? By singing! This ingenious collection demonstrates fundamental musical concepts while clever lyrics define them. Dynamics, articulations, tempo markings, treble and bass clef note names, rests, fermatas, and more; it's all about music!

Mark includes creative lessons (often games) and suggests related listening (usually masterworks) for every song in the book. So fun, kids won't realise they're learning. So fundamental, curriculum planning is a cinch! Recommended for grades 2-6.
