Garage Sale 2.0 #3: The Kingfisher Young People's Book of Music

What is music? Where did it come from? How has humanity produced music over time? This introductory text provides an overview of the above. The authors cover the science of sound as well as various instruments created throughout history. While there is a "world music" section, the emphasis is predominately western. This is a draw back, but an awareness of music's development in the West is essential to college prep.
