A Child's Introduction to Classical Music: Variations on "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

A Child's Introduction to Classical Music:
     Variations on "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
Micah Levy
Item: 1482

     "The Probably Untrue Story of Mary (Who) Had A Little Lamb" was conceived as an entertainment AND an educational tool, the goal being to introduce children to classical music.
     This enhanced CD includes a Teachers' Guide written by Barbara F. King. The Teachers' Guide follows National Standard Performance Goals and is suitable as a series of lesson plans to be used in public schools and home school situations as well as private schools throughout the US.
     "The Probably Untrue Story of Mary (Who) Had A Little Lamb" serves as a child's introduction to "classical" music. It takes as its starting point Sarah Josepha Hale's poem "Mary's Lamb." Almost immediately the story and the music veer way off course. The story is fun AND funny! Musically speaking, "Mary" is a set of variations on the familiar children's tune "Mary Had A Little Lamb." Additionally, lamb and listener are introduced to an important Vivaldi work. A light- hearted (but informative) introduction to classical music. In this take-off of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," Mary and Petunia (her lamb) become lost in the snow and are rescued by Antonio Vivaldi, who plays the violin for them and teaches them to play. All of the musical "illustrations" are variations on the tune "Mary Had A Little Lamb".
     This enhanced CD contains a printable teachers' guide which follows Performance Standards For Music as adopted by MENC. (The National Association for Music Education)
     "It is fanciful, entertaining, whimsical, fun, & incredibly musical! Bravo!" -- Mary Ellen Cohn, Maryland Music Educators Association.
     Winner: Parent's Choice Recommended Award.
