My kids are having fun learning different things in Kindergarten

If you're teaching phonics to a younger crowd of children, this series is a must. Elementary teachers from around the world should purchase this item.

Joyce Cauthen's book is excellent. She provides a good history of the fiddling tradition in Alabama, reaching back to the 1800s. I liked her descriptions of dances and contests, and her biographies of Alabama brag fiddlers are fascinating reading. She also includes information on the traditions and beliefs associated with fiddling, and there are good appendixes that reveal the names of tunes and fiddlers from the early 20th Century. This book will be interesting for those studying Alabama's history and folklife, and it is also an important contribution to the growing volume of scholarship on American fiddling as a whole. The book also includes terrific photographs, some of which are over 160 years old.

This is the perfect book for any old-fiddlers. There is tons of very interesting information. Highly recommended.

If you're at the beginner/intermediate level, this is a good book to pick up on after you finish your Mel Bay Deluxe Accordion Method book. ;)

I've only mastered (well, learned, anyway) a couple of the songs, but 100 songs for this price ain't bad.

40 O'Carolan Tunes for All Harps by Sylvia Woods.

If you have Sylvia's Teach Yourself Book, or are planning to get it, then this book is a natural to follow. The arrangements of 40 of O'Carolan's more popular harp tunes are on two levels so that the book can be used by players of different proficiencies. I was fortunate to have had access to Sylvia's books early in my learning to play the harp and I still play many of the pieces in this book on a regular basis.. Although Turlough O'Carolan lived in another era (1670-1738) he wrote much of the music played by Irish musicians today. The favorites in this book will delight you!

I have found the songs in this book to be a delightful way to teach content subjects to primary level students. The children know most of the tunes and seem to remember the words to the songs easily. In turn, this helps them retain the information. I heartily recommend this book.

J. Peter Burkholder's book "All Made of Tunes" is one of the most important books about Ives's music. Burkholder's book exhaustively surveys Ives's music, identifying many ways in which Ives borrowed existing tunes (hymns, popular tunes, patriotic tunes, etc). There are many musical examples that support Burkholder's arguments, and the book also has one of the best bibliographies on Ives out there. For anyone with some musical training who's interested in how Ives borrowed tunes, this book is essential.

Kroeger's tune census has almost everything I want in a reference work of this sort. He even includes brief biographical sketches of the composers. I've used the first line index to quickly look up hymn text authors. The one complaint I have is that Kroeger never gives a master list of the tune incipits. When I wanted to look up a fuging tune with a tune name other than that given it by its composer, there was no easy way to see if it was in Kroeger's catalog. I ended up having to search for it via the metrical index (fortunately the tune I was searching for was *not* in Common Meter!) I keep this book on the shelf handy to my desk and find myself reaching for it often. --Karen Willard

A very cute set of four books featuring baby Daffy, Bugs, Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote, Tweety, Sylvester and Taz. Very good for a beginning reader. Great illustrations.

This trade paperback comic book takes you through the evolution of the Looney Tunes and their comic appearences. I'd have to say that any Dave Alvarez comic is exremely hilarious and there's a slew of them in this awesome collection.

Cute games with beautiful artwork. Would be a ton of fun for a classroom studying 1800's England - a neat perspective for kids.
