Summary
Music is a big part of our lives. We hum as we walk the dog or wash the dishes. We tap our fingers in time to a favorite song. In doing these things, we are making music. This book takes a deeper look at all the different ways we make music, from string instruments and woodwinds to percussion instruments and the voice, students will finish this resource with a greater understanding of how these musical instruments work.
