Good ... but how do you use the color bar coding?

This is a very good music primer which has 16 original Disney songs and 4 non-Disney (or Disney-adopted) songs (Mary Had A Little Lamb, etc - simple rhythms to introduce the notes). It would seem that this book was prepared by the Hal Leonard staff since it does a very good job of covering all the basic music elements (staffs, notes, repeats, rests, ties, flats, sharps, et al). The illustrations for explaining whole, half, quarter and eighth notes are clear. It also has a few activity pages (coloring pages, connect the dots, crosswords and more) and 9 simple quizes. The notes are identified by letter and color bar coding to allow younger children to play the tunes. However, unlike a similar book by Hal Leonard ("Kid Songs: EZ Play Today & quot), this Disney primer did not have any stickers for your keyboard to make use of the color coding. I should also note that the color coding used by the Disney primer is different from the coding used by "Kid Songs"; so even if you have the stickers from the latter, they will be of little use with the former. That notable shortcoming aside (which is why I struck out a star), it is still a very good music primer which, thanks to the attraction of the Disney characters, should make learning music more enjoyable (or palatable). It works for my daughter.
