Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear
From the very first lesson in the Lesson Book Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear keep your child engaged with their story of high sounds and low sounds. Mozart Mouse likes to play on the high sounding end of the piano, understandably, because he is a mouse with a high squeaky voice. Beethoven Bear prefers the low sounding end because he has a deep, gruff voice. Your child will enjoy becoming part of the musical story as the two friends explain how music works. Some of the concepts of opposites learnt in music are: high/low, fast/slow, up/down, left/right, loud/soft, increasing and decreasing in speed, increasing and decreasing in volume. Mozart and Beethoven assist students in a broad understanding of their world

At Music Matters we primarily use the Lesson and Work Books along with the CD. However, other books in the series may be purchased as supplementary material. Each page of the Work Book is filled with colourful, attractive pictures. Black and white colouring in pages encourage students to follow up at home to revisit the musical concepts learn in lesson.

A piano accompaniment is written in the students’ book for the teacher to play along with, making each song a delightful duet. Students also play along with the CD which gives the correct timing and a professional sounding backing. Learning the piano is accelerated by regular use of the CD both at lesson and at home.
