Music Talks With Children

by Thomas Tapper

This book, intended for adults interacting with children, aims to guide readers in introducing music to young minds in a meaningful and engaging way. It advocates for approaching music as an art form rich in beauty, dignity, and joy, rather than simply a subject for drill and study. The author emphasizes the importance of presenting music in a manner that captivates children and encourages them to discover its inherent appeal, recognizing that children often grasp concepts more readily than adults burdened by preconceived notions. The book explores various facets of music that can resonate with young audiences, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for this art form.
