I used this book in K-8 music classes for teaching about John Philip Sousa. It covered a lot of content with a good mix of pictures and cartoons. My students and I enjoyed learning more about Sousa. I will be using more books in this series by Mike Venezia!
This is an excellent book about the life and times of Sousa. Short-Sweet-To the Point. It has great historical pictures of Sousa along with some cartoon drawings that enhance the story. I will be putting mine in my school's library for the student's to use on their biography project. A great book for an early reader 3rd grade and up.
I am using this series of books as part of a homeschool curriculum. I let him listen to Sousa music on Utube, and it is working very well. We are now working on the book about Brahms.
Informative, entertaining, a good resource for teaching in the classroom or for learning at home. These books are a great way to introduce music appreciation to anyone.
As a teacher, I love this series! My goal is to teach my 3rd graders about the famous artists and composers. This series makes it easy, fun, and interesting!
The item was received in nice condition and my kids are enjoying it.
Great for young readers.
