The Amazing Incredible Shrinking Clarinet—Thornton
Cline. Jake joins the band at school to play clarinet. Jake is
stubborn and continually refuses to play the clarinet correctly

Wizard. The Wizard warns Jake that if he doesn't play his
clarinet correctly and follow his teacher's instructions, his
clarinet will shrink until he is unable to play it anymore. Jake
discovers the secret to keeping his clarinet from shrinking
by changing his attitude. Jake begins to follow his teacher's
instruction and becomes really good on the clarinet. Includes

Do Re Mi: If You Can Read Music, Thank Guido
D'Arezzo—Susan Roth. "A thousand years ago, if you heard a
song and wanted to hear it again, you would have to remember

notation that allowed people to read music much as they read
words in a book. Portrayed as a misunderstood, driven, and
ingenious hero with the sympathetic ear of just one lone monk,
this is the story of Guido and his invention: modern-day solfege.
When Guido finally proves that his invention works, his triumph
resounds through the ages. His story is certain to capture the
imagination of any budding musician.
