Product Description

A "write-it-yourself" book of lessons and templates, I've also included an "About the Author" page, with thought provoking questions for the author to answer! The author will love looking back on their answers someday! The back cover has a picture of a frame, waiting for you to attach a photo of the author, and the front cover can be colored with markers so that the author can help design their own book cover! The uncolored cover shown in this listing is how you'll receive your book. The colored cover is simply my own copy, to give you an idea. As always, a donation of $1.11 from each book sale will be given to Headwaters Animal Shelter, "Deanna's Heaven", in Park Rapids, Minnesota! Your purchase will help to sustain a small, privately funded animal shelter in northern Minnesota. My daughter, Deanna, has been fundraising for this shelter for years. To quote Deanna, "PLEASE don't let them have to close down my heaven!" These are one-of-a-kind music books designed for your Music Maker, Small World Toys, T.K. O'Brien's, and Melody Harp zithers or lap harps. (For Melody Harps, tune F strings to F sharp.) Zither is shown but NOT included. NOT FOR FIRST ACT ZITHERS! If the music cards for your zither measure 4" across the top, 12" across the bottom, and 8" vertically, these books should work for your zither! This fifth of nine books in the highly educational and exciting World of Harmony Music series promises to take musicians to the next step; notating and arranging favorite music and creating a book that promises to become a treasured keepsake for years to come!

Feature

This educational book in the World of Harmony Music series of nine books will help you learn to write your very own book of zither sheet music which you'll arrange and notate yourself!
Included are lessons which will help you to figure out which notes are in a favorite song. You'll find a Note Drawing Lesson, where you will learn how to draw everything from sixteenth notes to whole notes, and how to count them.
Sheet music templates are reproducible so that you can work out your favorite songs and come up with a nice layout before committing your work to your own book. There are enough string layout pages for you to write up to 24 songs of your own!
Create a precious keepsake while taking your musicianship to the next level. To get you started, I've written out only the first half of "Jingle Bells", which you'll trace to improve your own note drawing skills. Then you'll sound out and notate (write out) the remainder of the piece.
There's even a mystery song for you to play on your own zither. Once you identify the song, you'll trace all the notes and write out the title and lyrics of the song.
