Look Out for Low Notes

by Marin Marka, Alexandra Tatu (Illustrator)

Meet the 12 bass monsters as colorful illustrations tell the story of how the low notes chose their spots on the music lines. In this brilliantly engaging book, sheet music becomes an unforgettable musical world. Look Out for Low Notes is the second book in the FableNotes© series, created as a science-backed way to make music literacy unbelievably fun.

What's inside? A musician has thought up the notes in his head, and decides to set them free onto paper so he could share his songs with the world. In this 32-page book, the notes are introduced one-by-one as their stories explain where to find them on the music lines.

[Natalie Weber · Rating 5 out of 5]

Look Out for Low Notes is the companion book to the excellent Here Come the High Notes by Marin Marka. This one introduces each of the notes on the bass clef, quickly capturing the reader’s interest with their creative names (Snooty C, Spacey F, etc.) and colorful antics. I prefer this over complete sentences for learning the music staff because the name of the note itself is emphasized and students don’t confuse themselves further trying to remember exactly how to word the sentence! Alexandra Tatu’s illustrations again make a perfect parallel to little fuzzies that can be outfitted with googly eyes and magnets and employed to make this an interactive read. We used it as part of our piano camp, To London with Handel and His Messiah and the students had such fun each day choosing their note and letting him play his part!
