		<description><![CDATA[Now that we&#8217;ve seen the notes on the staff, let&#8217;s take a look at which piano keys correspond to these notes.  Middle C on the piano is the white key to the left of the set of two black keys that is closest to the middle of the piano.  The other keys go [...]]]></description>

This little line is called a ledger line.  Middle C is the note on the first ledger line from the top of the bass clef or [...]]]></description>

The flashcards would have musical symbols on one side and the answer on the other.  They would be useful in studying note names and other [...]]]></description>

Niccolo Paganini lived from 1782-1840.  He was a violinist, but before he learned violin, he learned to play the mandolin at the age of five.  At age seven, he started studying the violin and began composing. By the time he was eight years old, he [...]]]></description>

The first major musical prodigy covered in this book is on of the most admired and celebrated classical composers of all time&#8211;Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  Mozart was undeniably a child prodigy.  The book mentions that he started his lessons at age 3 because his sister (age [...]]]></description>
