My First Classical Music Book - Taylor Strom

My First Classical Music Book by Genevieve Helsby is a colorful introduction to classical music, designed to bring out the imagination of children in elementary school. The readers (students) are asked to think about the different places in which they might hear music. As the book continues, each of the major composers and musical instrument families are introduced and brought to life in a vivid way. The book also comes with an accompanying CD so that the students will be able to hear the musical examples as they read. I think that this will really help with the students recognizing composers and the style in which each composer writes their music. This book would also be really useful because it will not only have the students recognizing the sound with the composer, but also using pictures as well.
