Synopsis
Music, Methods, and Me The notes of music are wonders in themselves. These little, round, circles, with stems and flags, are the symbols of the metaphysical scales of tones that surround us. Like numbers they live and work forever. They can be grasped out of thin air to be used for our imagination, creativity, and compositions. It is a marvelous way to capture what we otherwise could not see, but only hear. Notes can be used for the many sounds that surround us? The waves washing the shore, or crashing over cragged rocks can be expressed with note symbols on a music score? And the leaves have yet another stream or melodies? Have their voices been inked on paper using the symbols, named notes? Our four methods of easy composing found in this book, can meaningfully promote the capability to do so. Nature sings to us through bird songs, thunder clashes, lightning flashes, roaring lions, meowing kittens, all with different tones and pitches. Do we hear them, and their music? Let's find how to catch and understand their magic. In a unique way we try with the E-Z "Notation Through Rhythm" Methods, the optional use of an E-Z Color Code, and eight puppet characters from the Music Rainbow. B. Nelson
About the Author
About the Author Beverly Nelson remembers her happy childhood surrounded by music. Therefore it was natural for her to want her own children to also enjoy musical experiences. She accomplished this by developing the E-Z Keys Method while still a young mother. Later she received her B.S. and teaching degree from Portland State University. After graduation she taught in Oregon Public Schools, owned her own child care-kindergarten center, and later moved to Washington State where she taught elementary school, and day care. She is now retired. Her varied experiences working with children made her realize the advantages derived from the E-Z Keys Method, especially with music programs vanishing in the schools. The system has now been successfully tested on preschoolers, grade-school students, adults, grandchildren, and senior citizens. It is expected that other will benefit and find value in these inexpensive, effective, fun, recreational, therapeutic, as well as educational activities.
