Themes To Remember, Volume 1 is a 124 page hard bound book with a CD inside the back cover. The product is designed to help anyone {particularly children) to recognize 40 classical music themes, to know the name of the composer of each theme, and to be knowledgeable about and love classical music.It is a light-hearted, fully illustrated book that includes portrait sketches of the 24 composers and definitions of musical terms. Piano, a quiet little cat, and Forte, a rather noisy little dog, will accompany you through the pages of Themes To Remember. The book also includes "good listening" suggestions for each of the four classical music periods covered in the book.The CD contains 80 tracks, 40 tracks of the classical music themes without lyrics and 40 tracks of the same themes with lyrics written by the author. The nature of the lyrics, often humorous, results in an amazingly successful teaching method that was developed over many years by the author. Additional volumes are planned to cover additional classical music themes.
