Sousa & Sousaphone history for kids!

I had the opportunity to help out with a project this past year that was produced by Alfred Music, and a complimentary copy arrived in the mail today. It is "An Interactive Storybook About John Philip Sousa," but it also reveals the history of the first Sousaphone - which is that part I helped with, of course!

It is recommended for all ages, but it will be particularly appropriate for younger kids. Alfred Music did a great job with this, and I am grateful for Andy Beck, one of the authors, asking me to participate in the project.
