So-me Music Stories for Juniors : Books 1 - 4

by Stuart Manins

Story No.1, So-me Goes Missing, introduces So-me as a charader whose name often has a particular sound interval, and it directs children's aftention to everyday sounds around them.

Story No.2, So-me and the Spider encourages children to listen to sounds which sometimes go unnoticed - sounds from outside a building we hear when we are inside, sounds inside a small space which is special to us because of its seclusion, and sounds inside our body.

Story No.3, So-me meets the Boss, develops the association of the sah-me interval with two stave lines, and the practice of chanting one's own name.

Story No.4, So-me… Oh and Romeo, introduces the me-soh interval which children find less easy to hear and imitate than soh-me. Their aural perception grows considerably when they can tell the difference between both these forms of the minor third.
