Ann Bryant’s books and CDs integrate music, art and literature for ages
6-10. Each read-aloud story coordinates with a piece of classical music on the
CD. The imaginative stories have a relationship to the style of the music and
allow time for the children to actively listen to the music without narrative.
Discuss contrasts in the music and the feelings evoked, then encourage children to create their own stories or poems. The first page of each book introduces the music and the composer. Paperback & CD $12.95 ea.

Musical Journeys DVDs
In these extraordinary films, children of different cultures share one thing:
a love of music which is their source of joy and motivation. Each film focuses
on a talented young child’s devotion to a traditional instrument, the history and making of that instrument, how unwritten musical traditions are
passed on, and a final public presentation and approval of the young musician before elders and society. Witness their daily family and community
life in impoverished circumstances, and revel at how music transforms their
young lives. Highly recommended for all ages. 26 min.

Valeaira Luppens and Greg Foreman created this program to achieve the #8 National Music
Standard goal, “understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside
the arts,” to build teamwork in the school’s “ensemble” and to improve motivation across the
curriculum. A host of clever reproducible activities and practical lessons integrate music with
communication arts, history, math, and science. Teach both music and communication arts as
students write constructive responses comparing and contrasting instruments. Hold a musical
spelling bee, and work with anagrams, similes, and acronyms. Correlate music and history by
building a Venn diagram comparing two “fathers” born the same year—George Washington
and Joseph Haydn. Work on math by choosing the best option for purchasing instruments and
staying within a budget. Play the role of a symphony office manager and design bar graphs to
demo your strategic plan. Explore the properties of sounds and pitch with instruments in a lesson on the science of music. Much more! 92 pp. PB 7329 $26.99
