Classics Simplified – Jon Madin & Heather McLaughlin

It is surprising how many melodies from the classical repertoire are familiar to children through television themes, advertising, or cartoons. The arrangements in Classics Simplified are intended to make playing in groups possible for a wide range of people using commonly available instruments. Whether using homemade marimbas or Orff xylophones, these canons are a perfect way to introduce children to popular classics.

This book includes full performance audio track downloads performed by Jon Madin, Heather McLaughlin, and friends. The instruments used include Madin’s own homemade marimbas. Print-ready scores, facts about composers and instruments, and tips make this a great addition to any classroom!
