First launched in 1995, the aim of the magazine was to introduce children to classical music. As a result, it became extremely popular with music teachers and parents and remains so today. The stories followed the fictional adventures of two siblings, Sarah and Jamie who find a magical music box through which they are able to enter other worlds. The stories are generally related to other children's tales or fables. Each issue features:- Main StoryThe Listening Guide - a guide to the piece of music featured in the issueThe Composer - information about the composer of the pieceMusic Sheet - a simplified musical score of the main theme Orchestra - a detailed feature of a specific instrument found in an orchestra This entertaining partwork is a great resource for teaching Please note - Issue 22 (On Thin Ice) - the version on sale in this listing is the correct version (the cover matches the contents). When this issue was first published in the mid 1990s, some subscribers received a copy of the magazine which had the On Thin Ice cover, but the contents of Issue 23 (The Savage Flames). Marshall Cavendish quickly realised the error and sent the correct magazine to all subscribers who had received this misprinted version. The issue which hit the shops was the correct version. This makes the issue with the On Thin Ice cover but The Savage Flames contents extremely rare.
