Best children music books according to redditors

Hey Shreddit! I've been thinking about writing a children's book about metal. Similar to Eric Morse's "What Is Punk?" I've met so many cool parents who let their kids listen to metal and I thought it would be cool to respectively pay homage to the genre for kids who are just getting into metal. It would involve key influential bands, what headbanging and devil horns are, and more importantly the community of metal. If you guys have any input on what bands should be in the book or ideas of how I could begin this endeavour, please let me know. I really want to make this happen!

I find 99% of the time people are shocked how intelligent and lucid MattyB is

He's holding us down for bibliophiles around the world with his outstanding literary works

Oh god...

>MattyB is one of the most inspirational figures in today's hip pop scene. Combining soothing flows and sick beats, he creates songs that kick ass and take names. So who thought that this kid could write?
Marty's latest book, "That's a Rap", has a simple yet gripping message for the youth: follow your dreams unless they involve violence against minorities. Writing about his hard times on the streets of LA, Matty B has created something hard to read but even harder to put down. 8/8.

Well, for now, there's this.

You have to read the reviews on this book - they're just incredible. https://www.amazon.com/Thats-Rap-MattyB/dp/1501133799

Hip Hop Speaks to Children is a children's book that uses selected hip hop songs (and lyrics) from everyone from Young MC to Kanye to Queen Latifah to Aesop Rock as well as poetry from Langston Hughes and Nikki Giovanni to tell a thoughtful and meaningful story about growing up as a kid. I used it in a classroom that I was student teaching in earlier this year and the kids absolutely LOVED it. It comes with a CD with all the tracks included on it. It was a rural Illinois school so it introduced the kids to a side of music and a culture that they really hadn't seen before. Fantastic book. If you have kids and want to get them to read and love hip hop, I highly suggest it.

Good for you!! By sticking with the books you have brought all your skills up at the same time. People who avoid the books usually get good in only one thing but end up really lacking in other areas. If you want to go with more classical songs here are some books around your level that I would recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/GP57-Piano-Literature-Bastien-Through/dp/0849760542

https://www.amazon.com/Focus-Melody-2-Suzanne-Guy/dp/1569391467/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=focus+on+melody+2&qid=1574391963&s=books&sr=1-1

https://www.amazon.com/Masterwork-Classics-Level-Book-CD/dp/0739009648

These collections of classical pieces are not necessarily in order of difficulty. Unlike the lesson books you dont have to do every song. Most of my students do about 5-7 songs from each classical music period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century) and then are usually able to go to the next level.

amazon's a p good source

https://www.amazon.com/Live-Beach-City-Steven-Universe/dp/0843183497 it's simplistic but there is an official songbook for Steven universe. It has ukulele, guitar and piano chord charts and sheet music for some of the songs.

In the 1970s in north Texas when I was in elementary it happened from time to time. Also the musical we put on in 5th grade was Shadrach, Meshach, Abednigo (probably butchering spellings there) and not as any kind of secular allegory or anything but as a straight-up "faith in God will save you" thing. I still find myself humming the songs to it now and then 35 years later.

Edit: I googled it to see if this musical is something anyone else remembers and it definitely is.

I was never read to as a child but I just looked up on amazon children books and got a bunch! got this and a bunch of this series and this

You may like this book, co-written by Robbie Robertson.

...Should I tell him?

You might try the Piano Literature series (volume 3 would be good for your level). It's not just classical though. Some baroque, romantic, and contemporary as well. All good pieces though.

I can recommend some individual pieces to you, or books of just one composer, but I don't know of any books that contain a variety of just classical pieces from different composers (I'm sure somebody else in this subreddit does though).

Eventually, the book might get passed on to my own kids, but it'll be a while before I have them.

She was a housekeeper in the Seeger (yes that Seeger) household when she was "discovered" by Ruth Seeger when Libba picked up a guitar and started playing (for the first time since she was a child).

She is one of my (2.5 y/o) son's favorite musicians and we often sing Freight Train at bedtime. There is a charming children's book about her.

There's a book for sheet music. It's geared towards kids who are still learning to read music/chords, and the arrangements are pretty easy, but it's pretty fun all the same.

I wish this book had existed when I was little and learning to play piano for the first time; I would have loved it!

There's this book, which I think is the only sheet music that has been officially published. It might be up your alley, but only includes songs from season 1 (nothing for "Something Entirely New")

This piano book. I have a really nice keyboard that I picked up for my birthday in February and no set lesson plan for learning it. Right now I'm teaching myself scales and that's awesome but I'd rather have a book that walked me through it all.

There you go!

Sorry, apparently, I has a dumb.

would any of these be adequate?
