Classical music and jazz pieces in pictures and music, based on the Music Learning Theory

by Edwin E. Gordon.

 

Three small illustrated books for children up to the age of six.

Each page is dedicated to a piece of music, also included in the audio CD supplied and taken from the Classical or Jazz repertoire. An original illustration on every page depicts the piece and a brief introductory sentence describes its features and the instruments on which it is performed.

The included pieces were selected to provide a set of highly varied musical stimuli which serve to develop

musicality in children.

In the audio CDs: around 40 minutes of music chosen from the great classical and jazz repertoire. Short pieces with a vast variety of styles guarantee children’s interest and are very enjoyable listening for adults too. An introduction provides parents and educators with suggestions and advice on how to use the books and CD with children for creative and listening activities.


After graduating in flute performance, he studied in the USA with Edwin E. Gordon, the creator of Music Learning Theory.

President of AIGAM (the Italian association dedicated to Gordon’s methodology), he is intensely active as an author, instructor and musician, collaborating with AIGAM, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the University of Val d’Aosta, the University of Bologna (DAMS), and the Conservatories of Pescara and Monopoli.
