Kristina Wilds' The Adventures of EGBDF the Dragon and Friends is a new, groundbreaking, beautifully illustrated children's book that teaches students of all ages how to read music more easily and enjoyably than ever before. Countless children and adults give up trying to read notes on a sheet of music every year because traditional teaching methods are too confusing, intimidating, or require memorization of silly phrases. And, as a result, they never learn to play and fully appreciate the value or music in the lives. But now, with the help of author Kristina Wild's four unforgettably quirky characters - EGBDF the dragon, Ace-G the turtle, smiley FACE, and GBDFA the snake - children can learn to read,remember, and play notes in the treble clef and bass clef in a few as two or three lessons! Here's how it works: When a child pronounces the name of a character, they're effectively saying the notes!For example, if a student says "EGBDF" or "egg-guh-buh-diff," the notes on the lines of the treble clef match the character's name. It's that simple. There's no need to memorize anything. It's a fun way to help kids learn and grow in piano and music! Children and adults who learn to play an instrument or their favorite song with the help of EGBDF the dragon and friends are far more likely to practice, play, and love music for a lifetime. That's what this unique, fun-filled book of music education is all about

We live in a mysterious world. Just as philosophy strives to unravel this mystery by employing logical thinking, the arts explore the wonder of existence with heart, feeling, and beauty. Wisdom for Singers and Philosophers invites us on an aphoristic journey of discovery and insight through the world of singing, the arts generally, and philosophy. Each aphorism offers us a space and a time for reflection, where its meaning can be revealed to us in ever more personal ways. By opening yourself to recording your own thoughts, observations, intuitions, and even objections to these compelling aphorisms, you too can be opened to new levels of understanding of singing, the arts, and philosophy. Allow Wisdom for Singers and Philosophers to be your personal guide to artistic and philosophical living. It will provide to those devoted seekers of beauty and truth a path for honest intellectual, emotional, and spiritual reflection.
