Meet the Author

Music Books Written by an Elementary Music Educator

Larry E. Newman developed Music Fun Books after realizing there were very few good music books written specifically for elementary band and orchestra students.

His string, woodwind, brass, percussion, recorder, piano, guitar, and ukulele method books are used by music teachers and young musicians across the country.

Larry is a nationally recognized music educator, author of more than 400 music books and arrangements, and a five-time Emmy Award winner for his elementary music broadcasts recorded at UCLA’s Schoenberg Concert Hall.

“I wanted to create music books that were clear, kid-friendly, and genuinely useful for beginning musicians and their teachers.”
