Introduction by Librarian
"Sounds Good" stands out as a delightful and interactive guide to over 50 musical instruments. It takes readers on an immersive journey into the realm of music and sound.
Each instrument is presented with an engaging description, from its history and culture, to its unique characteristics and range, accompanied by vibrant illustrations that bring the instrument to life. The magic doesn’t stop there. To delve deeper into the musical experience beyond words and imagination, there is a QR code to scan in the e-book (or directly click on the e-book), to unlock a special music piece to showcase the beautiful instrument.
The inclusion of musical pieces offers readers a multi-sensory experience. It is an incredible resource for music lovers to dive into instruments and music history. With its blend of informative descriptions, colourful illustrations, and interactive listening features, this book encourages readers to engage with the book in a dynamic and hands-on way.
If you feel you can name a lot of instruments from the orchestra, this book also highlights the ‘uncommon’ ones. Apart from the classic violin and cello from strings, clarinet and bassoon from woodwind, trumpet and horn from brass, drum kit and glockenspiel from percussion, have you heard of sitar, didgeridoo, theremin, dulcimer or kazoo?
