{"product_id":"9781477174296","title":"The Great Tempo Race","description":"The traditional story of the tortoise and the hare was rewritten with a musical twist to help elementary students learn and remember some musical terms.  The characters and events were used to help students form a picture in their mind of what each word means.  Choral parts were included to bring about audience participation.  Allegro = hare (Allie) —- very fast tempo  Largo = tortoise (Larz) —- slow tempo      Moderato = the bird that oversees the race       (Moderato) —- medium tempo  Rallentando = roll on to —- gradually slowing up  Fermata = the firm mat —- hold  Cheering sections:  Allie go  (4x) spoken quickly     Larz go  (4x) spoken slowly  *It is recommended that the vocabulary be taught before the story is read to the students.  This book then becomes a reinforcement of the terms they are learning or have learned.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144511406320,"sku":"9781477174296","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477174296_p0.jpg?v=1763612209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477174296","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
