Each book in this series is divided into units describing simple, short pieces of music by various composers of different countries, and ranging in time from the 18th century to the 20th century. The pieces are based on exciting stories to stimulate interest and enjoyment. Material such as composers' portraits and drawings of instruments help to set the scene to the music. Units in this book include a special chart with numbered boxes, showing what happens during the music. The charts include printed tunes, brief descriptions and drawings of the instruments used. Follow-up activities in a work page at the end of each unit include questions, puzzles, drawing and colour, music-making plus ideas for further listening. An accompanying cassette includes extracts from all of the pieces of music featured in the book. This book is a Cambridge University Press publication from July 1995.
