The ABCs of My Feelings and Music—Scott N. Edgar
& Stephanie Edgar. This beautiful book, written for children
as well as teachers, parents, social workers, counselors,
and music therapists, explores the powerful link between
art, music, and emotion, and is ideal for deepening Social-
Emotional Learning (SEL) and building a fuller emotional
vocabulary. Built on the principles of SEL, each page offers
an emotion word in a piece of colorful artwork, one for
each letter of the alphabet. Below each illustration are three
classical music suggestions to listen to while observing the art.
Questions and links to the playlist help children unpack their
feelings and can launch meaningful discussions about how art
and music can affect us and help us express our emotions.
