Review of
An Encyclopedia of Musical Instruments,
by Claire Llewellyn ISBN 0763567426
Five out of five stars
A great introduction to the various types of musical
instruments
At 20.5 inches by 14.5 inches, this book would be
difficult for the youngest of readers to manipulate well enough to read it by
themselves. However, it would be an excellent choice for a large reading circle
where one person is reading it to a large group of children. The text is large
enough so that it could easily be read by children several feet away.
This is an
excellent book for children in the early years of elementary school when they
are beginning to learn about music and how it is made. The text is large, and
the images are in color and very well defined. It is ideal for an instructor to
read to the entire class and so teach them the names of the most common
instruments as well as some that are not as well known. For each type of
instrument, there is an explanation of the mechanism whereby the music is made.
This is an inexpensive
and effective way to teach children about musical instruments and how they
work.
