![]() Make Mine Music (Disney Gold Classic Collection) $19.99 the dvd reminded me of the first time i saw the movie at the loew's ave. b on the lower east side as a child. it brought a tear to my eye. ![]() Kids Make Music: Babies Make Music Too! $22.95 I am using this book currently in a mothers-and-toddlers music class. From the smiles and giggles on the toddlers' faces, I heartily recommend this book for chair and lap games, rhymes, and movement. The author uses tried and true materials; I am confident other purchasers will agree. ![]() Sesame Street - Let's Make Music [VHS] $9.98 My three year old daughter has a fondness for all things musical, but seeing as to how she has a spectrum disorder, I never know what she'll like or dislike -- even when it has a musical theme. I learned the hard way that it would be better for me to borrow movies from Netflix and test them out on her before purchasing them. I did exactly that and now I'm here on Amazon to purchase "Let's Make Music". At first, DD didn't like the large amounts of dialogue compared to other Sesame Street videos such as Kids' Favorite Songs or Sing Yourself Silly!. But she loved seeing her favorite characters create music out of items that she could imitate right at home (like Bert's song about an Oatmeal box). She also is a big fan of the Pinball machine song by the Pointer Sisters -- those of you who are my age or older will remember it fondly too. The only thing I disliked about it was that the ending came sort of abruptly or it was sorta of anti-climatic. The grand performance at the end wasn't exactly grand. But it's my daughter's opinion that matters and she'd give it 5 stars. ![]() Making Music Make Money: An Insider's Guide to Becoming Your Own Music Publisher (Berklee Press) $26.95 This book covered all the basics and clearly explained the business of publishing your own work. Although he gave estimates of the percentages expected for the various sources of income I would have liked to have seen more specific examples such as sample contracts highlighting the critical terms and conditions. All in all I learned a lot about the business and feel prepared to ask the right questions when the time comes to publish my own songs. |
