NEW PUBLICATION!

Just in time for the holidays...

The Power of Music contains 578 quotations about the value of music. The book is an ideal gift for music lovers, students, and teachers. Get a sneak peak at the pages below where you can browse the cover, the introduction, the table of contents, a chapter picture page, and a sample page of quotations. I hope you will find a statement that "speaks" to you.

"Musical Stories for Children"

Includes stories with musical themes (Tembo Elephant and the Waterfall, The Little Gingerbread Man, Peter and the Wolf, and the Carnival of the Animals); A Ballet Story (The Nutcracker Ballet); and Opera-- stories that are sung ((In a Dark, Dark, Wood; The Little Red Hen, Hansel and Gretel, and The Magic Flute). I have retold and illustrated these stories with patterns for children to color and already colored pages for the teacher. I have used the activities with pre-school children, my grandchildren, as a public school Music Mom, and for group piano lessons. I firmly believe that children should be exposed to the musical classics, and this is my small attempt to facilitate that effort!
