It's important to adjust and rework curriculum for students based on their needs and changing times. This series considers more culturally sensitive and relevant options in comparison to the “standard” music class repertoire. For these reasons, several books in the collection have undergone significant revisions. New editions contain updated songs and revised lessons for teaching various elements. Those who have purchased previous editions can access the revised content HERE.
