"...a teriffic resource, not just for helping kids create their own instruments, but also for teaching the youngsters what to do with them." - Salt Lake City Tribune "Not only does the book provide good information for instruments to make and give, it tells children how to create instruments from everyday objects around the house." - Florida Times-Union "...Wiseman and Langstaff invite children to explores the world of music by showing them how to create their own instruments and rhythms." - School Library Journal , …a teriffic resource, not just for helping kids create their own instruments, but also for teaching the youngsters what to do with them.

Florida Times-Union …Wiseman and Langstaff invite children to explores the world of music by showing them how to create their own instruments and rhythms. School Library Journal, Langstaff added revisions to the original edition of this how-to-make music primer. In an era of fairly inexpensive keyboards and amplifiers it's something of a joy to revisit the pleasures of creating sounds through simple-and really cheap-creations. A series of double-page spreads enlivened by Wiseman's often humorous red-crayoned line drawings describe in simple terms how to create percussion instruments as simple as sand blocks and kitchen-pot drums to castanet spoons (a return to the nineteenth-century art of "spooning.") zithers, flutes, and horns are also given their due. Along the way, the authors manage to throw in Ben Franklin's "Glass Armonica," African thumb pianos, and a discussion of canons and rounds-though my favorite is probably the "Dandelion Trumpet," short-lived but charming. These are projects kids can do on their own, but if there's anything like a cutting edge involved, "An adult should help with this project" warning is boldly attached. The backmatter of index, list of resources, and musical terms is useful, too. Overall, this book brings back with nostalgia long summer days without interruptions from TV or the Internet when kids actually made something with their hands and gloried in the messy and noisy results. Summer is coming up. Give it a try! , a teriffic resource, not just for helping kids create their own instruments, but also for teaching the youngsters what to do with them.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
