Inspires musical instrument makers - all you need to know!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Working as a travelling specialist teacher,I have used this book several times along with class teachers (and sometimes class auxiliaries, too!) to inspire and help children to make their own convincing musical instruments. The simplist maracas are great for five and six year olds and the more scientifically based banjo has been built by an eight year old. I have a few photographs of classes delighted with their craft work. However, the projects, when properly prepared (requiring a couple of weeks collecting bits and pieces), do represent a considerable investment of time and class teacher commitment. I visit each school once a week and only start near the beginning of a term! Still - very worthwhile and great fun.
