My Project

We're hoping to add some children books that feature things that relate to music! Our kids have been enjoying their music class this year and have been asking about all things related to instruments, people who are musicians, and stories in general that feature music as a topic. We've exhausted the books in our school library and are looking to add books like: The Musical Mice - The Birthday Music Book, Gryphon House Music from the Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Fingerplays, and Chants, and The Classical Music Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained.

Music makes everyone feel better!

We enjoy books so combining these two interests will open up opportunities for our students to explore music with each other in a new and exciting way!
