I'm excited about this new book - "Tunes for Littles". It is a supplemental book of 34 tunes designed with very young beginners in mind. Each tune has an illustration drawn by either myself, or Taliah Fast, a young girl who has a flair for drawing. This is her first project - she is only 13 years old!
This book is being used as a fundraiser for Taliah's education, and for much needed piano repairs for my Musiclink student. Those familiar with the Musiclink program know that students receive lessons at a deeply discounted price, and I make sure that all books are also included for free. However, her piano has not been tuned or repaired in many years, and so we need to raise funds to help with that.
"Tunes for Littles" will be available for digital download, and for those who live close, you may buy the actual book for $20. The recommended donation for the digital download is $50 - this comes with a license for unlimited reproductions.
The book will be printed in black and white only, to allow young children the opportunity to make the book their own, by colouring the pictures as they go along. Even the cover will be in black and white so that they can customize it to their liking. You can print the digital download in colour or in black and white.
Below is a list of tunes included in the book. Some of them, you have seen on the blog before, and others are new! I hope you can throw your support behind this project. If you are interested in receiving this in digital format, please send me an email at mary.cumming@hotmail.com and I will send you a digital copy as soon as it is available, upon receipt of your donation.
Below the list of tunes, you will see 2 of the tunes, with their illustrations. I hope you will join me in supporting these two young people.
