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.
365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.
