Melody Street: Story and Illustrations Betty M Reeves

Melody and its elements are introduced in an entertaining, easy-to-learn, and systematic way. Children have fun learning as they read and hear about imaginary characters and their houses. This book is an excellent teaching tool for music teachers and parents. The stories tell about the relationships of DO RE MI FA SO LA TI to each other. The pitches are personified. Their tonal relationships are shown in the houses on Melody Street, with hand signs, notes on the music staff, and with patterns shown on keyboard and Orff mallet instruments. Have fun!
