I now know how to read music and I love it too. 
I think I will continue with music because it’s a lot of fun for me.
Sincerely, Mary

 

 

 

 

How to use Supplementary Books for Students
with the Blue-Line Music Teaching Method

Our recommended books offer students additional ways to learn about and appreciate the songs they are playing:

Read the biographies to your class,  or assign them as extra-credit opportunities.
Keep the The Billboard Illustrated Encyclopedia of Classical Music in the classroom and encourage students to use it to answer questions that come up in class, or for reports.
The charming stories and caricatures in Lives of the Musicians may inspire your class to learn more about new composers, or research, illustrate and write their own stories about composers who aren't mentioned in the book.

  One of our teachers had her class create panoramas of famous individuals. After reading this book, one student made a shoebox version of Beethoven's chaotic apartment, complete with unwashed dishes of macaroni and cheese.
