Musical Instruments from A to Z

As an easy-to-read introduction to music, this ABC book uses an unusual question and answer format to showcase a broad assortment of instruments explaining their history and how they are played. Beautiful artwork and photographs feature people playing such familiar instruments as drums, piano and horns as well as more unconventional instruments as the yam stick from Australia, the zeze, and the quena from South America. Activities show children how to make their own banjo, panpipes and maracas.
