Jazz Mouse

Ailie Cohen

(Scotland)

The world's most boring music teacher, her niece, a cool, stowaway
jazzy mouse and a giant music stave with naughty notes all live in this
wonderfully imaginative story by Scottish puppeteer, Ailie Cohen. Jazz
Mouse (a snazzy French rodent) is discovered by the teacher's niece
during another excruciating violin lesson. He teaches them both that
music is about being curious and having fun. "If you really know what
you are doing you can even make the wrong notes sound right." Ailie
remembers having music lessons as a child. They were so boring that
she gave up playing the violin for 10 years. She hopes Jazz Mouse
"plants the seeds of curiosity that are necessary for the exploration of all
that music has to offer".
