More Than Individual Books
Our publications are connected by a shared educational philosophy.
Rather than creating isolated teaching materials, we develop resources that work together as part of The Dennis Frayne Approach to Music Education. This connected philosophy is built upon decades of teaching experience, educational research, careful observation, and continual refinement.
Throughout our publications you will discover principles such as:
Sound before symbol
Singing from the first lesson
Sequential learning
Comprehensive musicianship
Creative music making
Developmentally appropriate teaching
Inclusive repertoire
Student-centered learning
These ideas are not simply educational theories. They are practical principles that guide every lesson, every activity, every publication, and every musical experience we create.

From Dr. Dennis
Students and families have affectionately known me as “Dr. Dennis” for many years, and it has been one of the great joys of my life to teach, learn, and make music alongside thousands of wonderful students and teachers.
Presto! It's Music Magic Publishing grew out of a simple desire to create the kinds of resources I wished I had as a teacher — materials that are thoughtful, practical, engaging, and genuinely helpful in everyday teaching.
It is my hope that these publications will encourage you, inspire new ideas, strengthen your teaching, and help your students discover the joy of becoming musical.
Thank you for visiting. Happy teaching, and thank you for all you do to make the world a more musical place.
— Dr. Dennis
