Reviews
"Instrumentalists' first musical experiences are generally limited to intensive study of their instrument of choice. Pagliaro introduces the broader realm of music, beginning with music history and sound production (chapters 1 and 2). He devotes the next 12 chapters to four families of band and orchestra instruments--non-fretted strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion. For each group, Pagliaro explores the various instruments' characteristics and history and explains how they work. He concludes by returning to music fundamentals--in chapters devoted to form, basic music theory, and types of ensembles--and discussing opera and the role of the conductor. The volume includes numerous glossaries with brief definitions of key terms as well as recommendations of websites and books for further study.... [T]his is a practical, well-researched...guide that will be valuable to instrumental music majors, amateurs, and music teachers. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, teachers, and general readers." -- Choice Reviews "The book offers itself as a strong reference guide for the general music educator, a foundational resource for a music student or a resource for the motivated music enthusiast.
