Learn to Speak Music Video

Music / August 31, 2009
Having already mentioned two of my favourite kids books today, I'm going to add a third to the list: LEARN TO SPEAK MUSIC by the Broken Social Scene's John Crossingham and illustrated by the amazing Jeff Kulak.
A book for kids interested in forming a band or just making music, LEARN TO SPEAK MUSIC explores everything from songwriting and artwork, to shooting a video and setting up a practice space. It includes neat tips for buying your first instrument and setting up your own gig, secrets of home recording, plus advice from pros like Feist and MTVA-nominated video director Christopher Mills.
If you're interested in finding out more about the book, publisher Owlkids have set up a MySpace page and Facebook fan page for additional information and goodies such as this book trailer:
