Written for adults, this hands-on guide demonstrates how to make easy musical instruments with children. Detailed instructions are included for making more than 60 unique instruments that are suitable for children as young as five years. Serving as a resource in the classroom or home, this manual is extensively illustrated with drawings and photographs along with an audio sample of the instruments in lively solo and ensemble pieces.
Everyone can have access to music by creating their instruments!
Building musical instruments allows the child to make more intimate contact with music, intuitively understand certain technical aspects about its operation, also about phenomena such as resonance and sound vibration. On the other hand, it allows to establish a team work, facilitating social interaction.
What I liked most about the book has been the audios it contains because it gave me an idea of the possible result of the instrument to be manufactured, of course it is relative since it depends a lot on the personal ability to build them.
Music is one of the arts that I enjoy the most and I consider it indispensable. It helps us to express and give meaning to important life experiences, either celebration or loss, helps us understand better who we are, even helps us heal. For all the above, I consider this book a valuable resource for educators and parents, and create good times to enjoy.
My sincere appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
