The music lesson is inside the story

Book 1 told Nancy’s story. In Book 2, the story teaches. Children find their way around the grand staff the way Nancy does: by landmarks.

  1. The grand staff, its lines and spacesPages 3–4
  2. B–C–D: Because Christ DiedPage 5
  3. Three landmarks: G, middle C and FPage 7
  4. Notes and rests, on a climbing wall and a set of swingsPages 23–25
  5. Rhythm and time signaturesPages 40–41
Page 7: three lamp-post signs in the cave. F for Faithfulness, middle C, and G for Goodness, with the Shepherd, Nancy and her friends underneath.
  • F is for Faithfulness. The bass clef’s two dots sit either side of the F line, colored blue.
  • Middle C, the Shepherd’s note, right in the middle on its own short line, colored red.
  • G is for Goodness. The treble clef curls around the G line, colored gold.

Good to know

Ages

Editions
Digital PDF $9.99 · Paperback
Who is it for?

Children 4 to 10, coloring with a grown-up beside them. The pages are big and open, and most carry a Bible verse to read together.

Does my child need to read music?

No. The book starts with the lines and spaces of the grand staff and builds one small step at a time, inside the story.

Do we need Book 1 first?

No. Book 2 stands on its own. Book 1 is where Nancy meets her friends, if you’d like to start at the beginning.

Which Bible translation?

Each verse names its translation on the page. Most are King James or New King James.

What will it cost?

The same as Book 1: $9.99 for the digital PDF you print at home, and the paperback on Amazon.

When will it be ready?

It’s being prepared for print now. Sign up above and you’ll hear the day it’s ready.
