When
children start to learn
an instrument, they
already have a wealth of
experience in the
'basics' of music. Not
only have they learnt to
tell the difference
between various sounds
and pitches but they have
also heard all sorts of
sounds from their
environment and in most
cases have a considerable
repertoire of songs and
verses as well. Through
the development of motor
skills and language
acquisition, the
foundations for their
rhythmic development have
already been laid. Along
with covering specific
skills in the instrument
itself, broadening,
deepening and structuring
this 'primal' musical
knowledge is one of the
most important tasks of
the first lessons the
child has in the
instrument. With its
colourful selection of
old and new songs and its
clear structure making it
easy for children to
follow, 'Magic Tones' is
designed to help children
familiarise themselves
with their instrument and
learn about, understand
and then put musical
principles into practice.
The CDs included provide
additional material for
this book. The audio CD
contains the songs in a
sung and instrumental
version for the most
part, with different
ensembles and in a
variety of styles. The
children can listen to
them but they can also
sing, play, drum and
dance to them or simply
look at the particular
pages in the book. The
playalong CD contains a
version without singing.
The children can play
along to the melody,
however, which can be
heard in the background
for orientation
purposes.
