There is no doubt that music is a very important part of a child’s education, and no-one recognises this fact more than Mel Bay Music, Ltd. The Sheet Music Publisher has prided itself on being the driving force in music education and instruction since its arrival in the UK 6 years ago, and now it is seeking to promote and encourage children’s music education even further.

Mel Bay Music, Ltd offers a full range of music books, CDs, DVDs, Deluxe Pocketbooks and Manuscript to encourage the budding musician. With artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Juan Martin, Martin Simpson, Stephane Grappelli, Rodney Branigan, Oscar Herrero, Paco De Lucia & Jorge Cardosa they can provide introductory, intermediate and professional levels of tuition and advice as your child progresses and hones their talent.

Mel Bay Music recognises that tuition for kids needs to be engaging and fun, which is why many of their ranges are aimed specifically at children, such as the ‘Young Beginner’ series.  In addition to this, they offer tuitional sheet music and DVD footage in an extremely wide range of instruments from all over the world - from the Cajon to the Ukulele, from the Tabla to the Bodhran, from the Banjo to the Sitar, from the Jaws Harp to the Dobro.  For the musician interested in more traditional instruments, they also boast the world famous “Modern Guitar Method” which has been in print since 1947, sold over 20 million copies and taught the world how to play Guitar.

It is important that a child’s interest in music is sparked and nourished early on, and that is why Mel Bay Music distribute many starter sets for ages 4+, such as Voggy instrument sets. These cost effective sets are an excellent way to immerse a child in music at an affordable price.  This is particularly important to Mel Bay Music, who wants to see all children given the opportunity to learn to play an instrument, especially in light of the recent review on Music Education launched by Education Secretary Michael Gove, which states that “Evidence suggests that learning an instrument can improve numeracy, literacy and behaviour.”

Mel Bay Music, Ltd also distribute the Walton’s and Mallys catalogues and are the exclusive distributor of AMA Verlag Musik catalogue, AMPD & Sasha Music catalogues (Australia), RGB Arte Visual and the Voggenreiter catalogue too. Offering competitive retail prices, incredible discounts, and boasting over 4,000 lines in stock and available, Mel Bay Music, Ltd supports local music retailers as well as schools and music centres.
