Musicmap Series: Carnival of the Animals is an innovative resource that is based upon the idea of active music listening. H This is innovation, musical expression and artistic design at its best.

Of the 14 pieces in the suite, Royal March of the Lion; Turtle; Kangaroos; The Cuckoo in the Depths of the Woods and The Swan were chosen for these hands-on listening activities. This series encourages children to actively interact with the essence of the music by simultaneously seeing and touching symbolic notes. Using the senses in this way offers an unsurpassed opportunity for children to enjoy classical music, as well as to sharpen their concentration skills. Designed by music and early childhood specialist Dr. Hyun-Kyung Youm, the five books in the kit introduce the Musicmap concept, in which pictures and patterns visually present the length and pitch of the notes of the melody in each piece. The sensory materials attached to each symbolic note express the feelings of the tone and allow children to learn naturally by touch as part of the hands-on activities. Included in the kit are music activity programs, a teacher's guide containing suggested preliminary and follow-up activities for each of the five animal themes, as well as main activities. There are seven activities for each animal. The enclosed CD was recorded by the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.
