Editorial Reviews

This primary level introduction to instruments is informative and appealing. Each book describes aspects of the instrument group, demonstrating through photographs, distinguishing features, and parts of the instrument as well as how it is played. The text is simple yet fairly comprehensive, and each book contains a simple picture glossary. The illustrations are not only informative, but breathtakingly beautiful and multicultural, incorporating people and instruments from around the globe. Very young students will not only learn about musical instruments, but will also be introduced to multiple cultures as they navigate through these introductory texts. Index.
