MILWAUKEE, WI -- Two pillars of the publishing world -- Disney and Hal Leonard have pooled
their talent resources to craft an irresistible series of picture books with
additional online content that help young children develop musical skills and
knowledge through creative play. Launching the Disney Learning "Explore Music" series are:
Moana: The Beat of Your
Heart - A Musical Exploration Activity Book Princess Moana, who lives in a tropical island paradise,
shares her culture with young readers who discover how the natural rhythms of
Moana's environment are expressed artistically through hand clapping, body
rhythm, and drumming. Kids will develop their sense of inner pulse by playing
along with the drums of Motonui on percussion instruments that they
themselves craft from household objects. This beautifully illustrated book
with online musical enhancements serves as a guide for children to explore
beat, rhythm, and the sounds of Motonui's drums through constructive
activities and creative play.
Tangled: It's Better When
You Sing It - A Musical Exploration Storybook Graced with the charming familiarity of Tangled-inspired
illustrations, this innovative musical exploration storybook integrates
thoughtful activities right in the engaging narrative. Rapunzel shows
youngsters that everything is better when they sing! Learning about music
becomes an exciting adventure with this playful story that encourages children
to experience the joy of singing while they discover the qualities of their
own unique voice. Along the way, they'll explore concepts like tempo, pitch
awareness, proper breathing, careful listening, using music to express
feelings, and much more.
Mickey's Found Sounds -A
Musical Exploration Storybook
The Main Street Parade has been rained out, but Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, along with Donald and Daisy Duck and all their friends, form their own parade playing musical instruments they have made from everyday items found around the house. Children will follow simple instructions and share with Mickey and his pals the fun of playing music with instruments they create themselves. This exploration storybook combines music making with imaginative play, following directions to create crafts, and experiencing the sounds of different instruments.
Authored by a Hal Leonard team of
artists, designers, writers, music educators, songwriters, and music
producers, and based on an early childhood music curriculum commissioned by Disney Learning, each
of these hardcover picture books includes not only a charming, colorfully
illustrated story that's perfect for ages 4 - 8, but also an array of musical
exploration activities. To add to the fun, additional online activities,
including video read-alongs, audio sing-alongs, and more, are provided for
each title on the Hal
Leonard Explore Music website.
Singing and making music are
wonderful ways to bond and nurture physical, emotional, and social
development. Helpful suggestions for parents and caregivers about
incorporating music into the life of a young child are included in each book.
