Music instruction based on Musicmaps
Each book includes Musicmap pages that incorporate images from the book and show the pattern of the song¡¯s melody.
   
Multicultural approach
  We chose folk songs from various countries, especially those with beautiful lyrics and melodies that were appropriate for young children.
   
Integrated educational content
  Experts in music education, art, musical arrangement, and performance cooperated to develop these materials.
   
Illustrations by award-winning artists
  Each of the books incorporates a different artistic style. The illustrators for the five books chose techniques that uniquely express the message and theme of each song.
   
Music recorded by a world-renowned orchestra
  The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, South Korea¡¯s premier orchestra, performed original arrangements for this project and accompanied a child¡¯s voice for a portion of each song.
   
A different solo instrument for each song
  The Musicmap section of each arrangement features a different solo instrument-vibraphone, trumpet, violin, cello, or clarinet.
