they follow the story of Beethoven Bear, Mozart Mouse and their
Music Friends. Piano pieces are sequentially introduced throughout
the story adventure.Music Workbooks contain pages to color that
reinforce the musical concepts introduced in the Music Lesson
Books.Music Discovery Books feature songs that allow students to
experience music through singing, movement and response to rhythm
patterns. Also included are music appreciation activities and
melodies to sing that aid in matching pitch while discovering tonal
elements of music.
Beethoven Bear, Mozart Mouse and Music Friends plush toys
stimulate the students imagination, a necessary component for
teaching young children.Music Recital Books include motivational
music to reinforce performance concepts that are introduced in the
Music Lesson Books. They also provide extra material for students
in group lessons who move quickly. Each book includes a new story
about the Music Friends and challenge pieces based on familiar folk
tunes.
Compact Discs include all of the music in the Music Lesson Book
and Music Discovery Book, as well as the narration for the story.

About the Authors
The Discovery Book creates an exciting musical atmosphere in the
lesson and just as importantly, at home. Discovery Book songs and
dances energize my students, allowing better concentration during
playing and reading activities. At home, in conjunction with the
CD, families sing and color pictures of their Music Friends and
listen to classical music examples. This creates a musical
environment that motivates young Mozarts.
Christine H. Barden is an internationally recognized authority
on early childhood music. She is currently an independent piano
teacher in Reno, Nevada, where she teaches piano and composition
students, in addition to Music for Little Mozarts preschool
classes. Christine received her degree in piano performance from
San Francisco State University and served as a national instructor
for the Yamaha Music Education System for 17 years.
We included the musical story and plush toy characters in Music
for Little Mozarts to peak the interest of young studentsproviding
built-in motivation for music study. The names of the characters
introduce students to famous composers and the plot of the story
augments the introduction of concepts. We encourage parents to
integrate the characters into story-reading and practice time at
home.
Dr. Gayle Kowalchyk, Alfreds Senior Keyboard Editor, selects and
edits music for supplemental piano publications. Gayle holds
degrees from Ohio University, Northwestern University and an Ed.D.
in piano pedagogy from Teachers College, Columbia University. She
has been on the piano faculty of Eastern Illinois University,
Oklahoma Baptist University and the University of Oklahoma.
The Music for Little Mozarts CD recordings are integral to
providing a well-rounded approach to learning music. When listening
to the CD, children will learn familiar folk songs, hear and
respond to famous orchestral pieces and delight in hearing Mozart
Mouse, Beethoven Bear and their Music Friends talk about making
music.
Dr. E. L. Lancaster is Vice President and Keyboard
Editor-in-Chief of Alfred Publishing. He holds degrees from Murray
(KY) State University, the University of Illinois, and a Ph.D. from
Northwestern University.
Prior to joining Alfred, Dr. Lancaster was Professor of Piano
Pedagogy at the University of Oklahoma, Norman. During that time,
he and his wife, Gayle Kowalchyk, operated a large independent
piano studio in Norman, Oklahoma. Together, they have co-authored
more than 260 publications designed for students of all ages,
including the all-new Alfreds Premier Piano Course.
