Listen & Celebrate by Nathan Holder and Helen MacGregor is a brand new resource for educators who are looking for a fresh take on music activities in the classroom for primary level. The book includes a selection of 15 pieces from an array of eras, cultures and genres by both female and male composers. Interesting questions and tools are provided to support active listening for an immersive experience. Holder and MacGregor are highly respected figures within music education; we are in safe hands with such brilliant minds coming together to create this unique resource.
The book is beautifully laid out and easy to digest, supported by eye-catching and quirky illustrations. There are graphic scores that accompany the pieces, offering a fun and visual element to the book while keeping music notation accessible. The graphic scores are depicted in several ways, from blocks of different heights that correlate to pitch, to illustrations of animals and even the use of numbers. It is a marvellous touch and an ingenious way of bringing music to life through a book, encouraging immersive learning.
