The Wonder of Music

Our students are some of the best advocates for music programs as they share the joy of music making through their performances. This is a musical about the wonder of music, and each of the seven original songs can be performed together as a complete program, or they can be sung separately. The second half of the book focuses on strategies and conversations about the importance of music study for children, including writing and advocacy activities. These concentrate on attributes of music education and how children benefit from music study: Decision Making, Grit, Multiple Ways of Knowing, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Emotional Awareness, Reflective Learning, and Process Orientation. The Teacher's Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements with choreography, short narrations for up to 65 speaking parts, and digital access to student PDFs. The Performance Kit includes the Teacher's Edition plus performance/accompaniment audio recordings that can be played online or downloaded to a device.
