Moving Sound

The Sound Books series is a picture book collection designed to visually represent musical concepts for young learners. Its original artwork is created and arranged to clearly depict sound ideas with few or no words required. The unique approach encourages students to bring together visual and aural imagery and creativity in an exploration of vocal and instrumental skill building and conceptual musical understanding. Designed for interactive use between parents and children, teachers and students, each book focuses on a particular skill and/or concept area and provides strategies for effective use. Moving Sound is the sixth publication in the series and focuses on the relationships among beat, rhythm, and meter in music.



Through simple and engaging images, rhythmic ideas are presented visually on top of the beats and meter systems within which they work, providing a wide range of opportunities for learners to explore and internalize these intertwined musical concepts.
