It was an unprecedented collective experience made possible by the invention of the radio and a new microphone that picked up sounds of nature.\u003cbr\u003e Beatrice Harrison, considered one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century and a musical prodigy, was that cellist. This biography describes Beatrice's singular dedication to music from a very early age.\u003cbr\u003e At the age of eighteen months, Beatrice attended her first concert. Catching sight of a cello and hearing it for the first time, she was bewitched and immediately began asking to play it. She got her first cello when she was about eight years old. Later, her parents moved the family to Germany so Beatrice could study with one of the best cello teachers. There, at age seventeen, she was awarded a prestigious prize, the youngest artist and only cellist to win at that time.\u003cbr\u003e Back in the UK, the family moved to Surrey, England and Beatrice's career flourished.\u003cbr\u003e One evening while Beatrice was practicing her cello in the garden, she heard a creature repeating the music she was playing. It turned out to be a nightingale. She played many nights with the bird and was completely enthralled. Wanting to share the experience, she convinced the head of the newly formed BBC to take a chance on a live broadcast from her garden. The resulting duet was a smashing success and Beatrice received more than 50,000 letters in response. Overnight, she became known as the Lady of the Nightingales and for twelve years thereafter the cellist and the bird were broadcast annually to BBC listeners from her garden in Surrey.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1682637271\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781682637272\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Newman, Patricia, Follath, Isabelle, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Margaret Quinlin Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Margaret Quinlin Books","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Feb 2026)","offer_id":45657951994053,"sku":"9781682637272","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781682637272.jpg?v=1768896406"},{"product_id":"welcome-to-jazz-a-swing-along-celebration-of-americas-music-featuring-when-the-saints-go-marching-in-with-battery","title":"Welcome to Jazz: A Swing-Along Celebration of America's Music, Featuring \"When the Saints Go Marching In\" [With Battery]","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of Welcome to the Symphony, this interactive, swing-along picture book for introduces kids ages 4 to 8 to the world of jazz music--with 12 unique sound buttons!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Are you ready to swing?

Featuring a coloring sheet on the back of the jacket!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2020, Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play on the legendary \u003ci\u003eGrand Ole Opry\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrated the fifty-year anniversary of her debut album. That record, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e, marked a vital milestone for generations of Black and brown female musicians. Mining a bounty of stories and packed with resources, this collective tribute to artists like Martell--who have defiantly loved a genre that didn't always love them back--pairs nearly twenty mini-biographies with playful portraits in full color by Rhiannon Giddens, a musical legend in her own right. Each profile is a love letter to pioneers in country, Americana, and roots music who set the stage--or grace it today--with guts and soul. From the trailblazing Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who braved racism and sexism to infuse gospel with the blues, to \"Queen of Rock\" Tina Turner; from Odetta, the Voice of the Civil Rights Movement, to the heady vocals of Valerie June; from the Pointer Sisters to Our Native Daughters, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e challenges stereotypes to inspire young readers, especially Black or brown girls with a dream, to lift their voices high.
