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. Up and Down Sounds is the first publication in the series and focuses on vocal exploration of high and low sounds, and all sounds in between. Through a range of images, which begin as seemingly random patterns and develop into more sophisticated images that resemble traditional music notation, learners are encouraged to explore their vocal capacities as they sing what they see.
