Following on from the success of the award-winning A History of
Pictures for Children comes this introduction to the history of
music that takes children on a musical journey around the world.
Readers will meet along the way a diverse cast of composers,
musicians and performers who all make music in different ways in a
variety of different genres, from Bach to Billie Eilish, Mozart to
Miriam Makeba. Why do we make music? Which instruments make up a
classical orchestra? How does music affect our brains and emotions?
These are just some of the fascinating questions addressed in this
book, which looks at music's transnational and boundary-breaking
qualities. All over the world and throughout time, music has been
recorded and passed down through different oral traditions and
forms of notation. It has always been a powerful catalyst for
influencing change and connecting people. And what might the future
of music hold? Exploring the technology we use to listen to and
create music, the authors imagine new possibilities such as
computer-generated compositions and robot musicians. Includes an
online playlist organized by chapter that children can listen to as
they read.
