Learning to identify the different forms of music can be difficult for children in today's MTV- and pop-saturated world. World-renowned jazz musician Wynton Marsalis uses his remarkable talents and unique teaching gifts to make learning about the classical forms of music fun and entertaining. Marsalis uses models of malls and skyscrapers and his trumpet as examples of how to identify the music of such important composers as Ellington, Gershwin, Ives, Prokofiev and more. Absolutely the finest music appreciation and instruction series for children available, this is a must-have for music teachers and school libraries. ~ Heather M. Fierst, All Movie Guide
