The Sound Books series is a picture book collection designed to visually represent musical concepts for young learners. Its original artwork is created and arranged to clearly depict sound ideas with few or no words required. The unique approach encourages students to bring together visual and aural imagery and creativity in an exploration of vocal and instrumental skill building and conceptual musical understanding. Designed for interactive use between parents and children, teachers and students, each book focuses on a particular skill and/or concept area and provides strategies for effective use. Sections of Sound is the second publication in the series and focuses on the organization of sounds in musical compositions. Elementary children and older students will find the content clear and effective in its representation of musical form in existing works and provide a creative structure with which to create their own music. 3
