4 stars. I only read this—haven’t actually tried to study it yet—but as someone who struggles a lot to learn music, it looks very promising as a method for teaching and helping me memorize the notes of the treble clef!

Here Come the High Notes is one of my favorite music-related kids books! I first came across it and used it with my piano camp To France with Saint-Saëns and His Carnival and my students adored it. The imaginative illustrations by Alexandra Tatu lend themselves perfectly to tangible duplication with little fuzzies affixed with googly eyes and a magnet that students can place on a magnetic dry erase board to mimic the characters in the book. The distinct names and attitudes of each note capture the students’ interest and make them memorable. (I love that it introduces the name of each note on the staff in an engaging way without resorting to entire sentences that are often more confusing than helpful for students.) A couple of my nephews who participated in piano camp asked me for weeks afterward if I would bring over “the notes book” to read it to them. Truly a beloved student favorite!
