n The Tale of Guido D'Arezzo
Maritza Mascarenhas Sadowsky.
Long before the lines and spaces, the flags and beams, music had to be
memorized because there was no way to write it down. That is, until clever
Guido came along. Learn how this medieval monk laid the groundwork for
the system of music notation that we use today. This true story is told with
beautiful illustrations and age-appropriate vocabulary, which can be read
from the screen and heard each time you turn a page. Embedded audio plays
period music, whimsical sound effects, and a professionally voiced narration.

l Siku's Song
Julia Jordan Kamanda.
Climb the musical mountains of Peru and enter Siku's world, a place
where melodies drift through the hills and valleys. Sing along with Siku,
a young alpaca who breaks the rules in order to express herself by singing
and humming the songs in her heart. This storybook helps children explore
the musical element of melody. Siku's song is like the pan flute's voice,
clear and strong. A companion CD includes a pan flute party jam track,
an audiobook of the story, and the easy-to-sing In My Heart (There Is a
Song), written and performed by Julia Jordan Kamanda and her students.
The Teaching Guide (book 2 in the Musical Tales for Modern Minds
series) engages young learners with multicultural lesson plans and hands-
on learning activities. Students will find a piece of themselves in Siku as
she stands up for what she believes in and learns how to blend tradition
with innovation. Build melodies using literacy-based activities, explore
simple music notation, and manipulate materials to reinforce the concepts.
Activities are aligned to national core curriculum standards and integrate
music, language arts, social studies, and visual art.
