The first notes : the story of do, re, mi / by Julie Andrews & Emma Walton Hamilton ; art by Chiara Fedele.

Andrews, Julie, (author.). Hamilton, Emma Walton, (author.). Fedele, Chiara, (illustrator.).

Summary:
This creative nonfiction book introduces readers to the remarkable story of Guido d'Arezzo's development of musical notation. Guido longed to find a way to write and teach music. Eventually, he created the musical scale, using the words Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do...one syllable for each note. Though the other monks thought it was a waste of time, Guido's music couldn't be silenced. His discovery remains the foundation for learning music today, and inspired the famous song "Do-Re-Mi," which Julie Andrews sang in the beloved movie The Sound of Music. -- adapted from Amazon.com.
