Item description from seller

Making Music Your Own, Book 2. By Beatrice Landeck, Elizabeth Crook, and Harold C. Youngberg; special consultant Otto Luening; illustrated by Eva Cellini. Morristown, NJ: Silver Burdett Company, 1964. Copyright renewed 1967 by General Learning Corporation. Hardcover, 153 pp., green pictorial boards with black and pastel musical symbols. First Edition (1964 Silver Burdett issue.) Likely first or early printing, circa 1966-1967 (based on copyright line and imprint style). A richly illustrated midcentury school music text featuring songs, rhythm patterns, and ear-training exercises for Grades 3-4. The series' modernist design combines pedagogical clarity with playful mid-century artwork by Eva Cellini. Includes seasonal sections ('Music for Fall,' 'Music for Winter,' 'Music for Spring') with songs in English, Spanish, and French, along with selections by Samuel Barber, Carlos Chávez, Aaron Copland, Igor Stravinsky, and Richard Rodgers - remarkably advanced repertoire for the time. Condition: Good. Ex-school copy (Prince William County Schools), with ownership stamps and catalog number to endpapers; binding sound, pages clean and colorful. Moderate edgewear and rubbing to boards, lower corners bumped, mild spine wear. Piano keyboard illustration intact on rear endpaper.

Her illustrations helped define the cheerful, modern look of postwar American classroom design. …
