Why read it?

1 author picked My First Classical Music Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a great little book for introducing younger readers to their first pieces of classical music. Although it is meant for a younger audience, there are many anecdotes that slightly older readers will also enjoy. The accompanying music is available in both a CD and an online version. The recordings are from Naxos which has an excellent music library of top-notch performances. A great value!

From Jonathan's list on children’s books on classical music.
