A delight to read! I read it in a couple of hours and was laughing out loud a number of times.
From discussing musical instruments and which section they belong to in an orchestra through different genres of music with recommendations on each through to writing your own songs, this book is a must read for young music enthusiasts!
I enjoyed the funny facts, and trying to pick out the lies in each chapter!
This is a good book, it presents music in a fun way and keeps the child engaged. Have to admit I dipped into it too, and enjoyed it. It is a good way of getting young people in music and instruments hopefully leading to a new hobby.
