Iowa Woman Effectively Teaches Children the Important of Music

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 30, 2009 -- Sharon Burch, a local native to Centerville, Iowa, knew that there were multitudes of chances for the music education field to grow. Sharon and her husband Bill Burch, a local entrepreneur to the Centerville area and manager of many businesses there, live on the outskirts of Centerville near the Lake Rathbun area.
Sharon has three books to date.
A background on how she got started writing:

Sharon looked at other ways teachers taught their classrooms—they used styles such as flash cards, learning exercises, interactive games, and books to impart knowledge on younger children that they would use for the rest of their lives. In essence, smarter children in the future. She sat down and thought of the different possibilities and it hit her: why not bring all of these concepts into one principle mean of learning. As she sat, a vision formed in her mind. The vision, after many hours of thought and development, was Freddie the Frog.

His last two adventures revolved around the learning of the musical staff and its notes, but in this adventure, the tale is spun a little differently. Freddie and his best friend, Eli the elephant, find themselves stranded on an island near Treble Clef Island. They follow mysterious “Wahooooos” through the jungle and try to communicate with the different members of the island. During this adventure, the two learn about the importance of movement in music, and discover that they landed on Tempo Island. While they, they learn musical rhythms, such as the quarter note, eighth note, sixteen notes, and rests. They also learn about repeat signs and various Italian musical connotations, such as presto, largo, adante, and allegro.

Sharon, with the help of Bill Burch, soon developed Mystic Publishing Company.

Bill Burch may be contacted at [www.williamburch.com]. Freddie the Frog is a great interactive tool for children to use. In today’s society, it is important that children learn to appreciate music and art in the world. If they learn to do this, from such pioneers as Sharon Burch and illustrator Tiffany Harris, we can look forward to a future rich in values that are both beneficial and supportive to higher learning.
