Book with online audio. This book is about making and playing instruments from around the world. Many can be built in a half hour or less by children as young as age 5, using common household items. All of the instruments are designed to be built and played by elementary aged children, their teachers and parents. No special skills or musical knowledge required and the only tools necessary are those commonly found in the home or classroom. The songs come from a variety of sources and most are familiar. The music includes chord symbols as well as tablature for Appalachian dulcimer. 112 pp.
