I love music: all about musical instruments then and now. This is a basic introduction to musical instruments. Then and now seems to compare instruments that do not require electricity with instruments that do require electricity. This would make sense if they compared the same kinds of instruments, like an acoustic guitar with an electric guitar, or a piano with a keyboard, but they did not. They chose instruments like a harmonica which to the best of my knowledge does not have an electric version. All of the instruments featured in the then category are still widely played today. The one thing that this book does is with each instrument they show a picture of they tell how it is played. This is the one redeeming quality in this book. . I like that this book starts off giving the definition of what a musical instrument is. In the then section we learn about several instruments. The Lute, the saxophone, and harp are the first instruments that we learn about and see good pictures of. Next we see a huge pipe organ, learn about timpani drums and conclude the then section with the harmonica. The now section features an electric guitar. Then it talks about a sound synthesizer while we see a picture of an electric keyboard. We are also introduced to a drum machine and an electronic drum. They end this book with a picture and description of a turntable. If you found my review to be helpful please click yes. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

I just received this book I Love Music, All About Musical Instruments Then and Now. I was not as impressed as I was hoping to be with it. It has nice photos of the instruments on each page but the types of instruments and the amount were very discouraging to me. I was really hoping that they would do a better job with some of the instruments from the past but instead, they only covered a few and some of the very common past instruments were not even mentioned. Some that they said are from the past, are very much used now days too. Overall there were not very many instruments covered in this book period. There is a small amount of information about each instrument in the photo that is nice to read but overall just feel lacking. My kids were not very interested in reading the book either which is sad to me. Hopefully they will come around and be more interested in it in the future.I received this ebook for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. I gave this book a three out of five stars due to the lack of amount of instruments that they actually covered in the book. The photos are nice and fun to look at but that only goes so far. My kids were not very interested in it either which was a downfall for me. All in all, it is still a decent small book with a small amount of information but if you are looking for a good representation on what the difference in instruments over time has been, I don’t feel like this would be the book for you.
My daughter learns the piano and the violin and she was excited to get this ebook. But when we read through it, we found it had only 6 of musical instruments used then and 6 modern ones. You basically flip through this book in no time. It does not include many popular ones like violin, piano, cello, acoustic guitar etc. We thought it would be a more comprehensive list. IN the older instruments, the author has included saxophone which is still very much used now. In modern instruments, the sound synthesizer and keyboard look similar.Bottom line - this book is good, but could have been so much better.I received this ebook complimentary in exchange for my unbiased review and opinion. All opinions and words are my own.
This Musical Instrument book is okay. It has accurate information about the instruments although some of them are in the wrong time period. It has Saxophone under THEN, but that instrument to me seems to be a NOW instrument. My son plays the sax. They should have some old time instruments that are unique and maybe not common. It has a turntable (record player) under NOW, but should be under THEN. The pictures are all similar and you can find the same information on the internet. This book is not very interesting and my kids wouldn't be interested in it.I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
An interesting concept to learn about musical instruments, albeit the information is not particularly accurate. Musical instruments listed under "Then" are still currently used instruments. I would argue that a Drum sound machine is technically not an instrument, but rather a computerized device. I would have liked to have seen a broader selection of instruments, with more detail. Overall, the book is 'just okay' but not great.I received this ebook complimentary in exchange for my unbiased review and opinion.
This book is a waste. I am a music teacher and I wouldn't use this with my kids. The sentence structure is poor and the backgrounds are boring. The images are boring stock photos. The information is accurate, but not child-appropriate. No child is going to understand what stops are on an organ based on this book. Heck, I'm professionally trained and it confused me. Not worth the buy.I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. If you found this helpful, I would really appreciate a yes vote!
