My youngest (10 yo) loves the Basher series. I bought this as an intro to music elements hoping it would include more information in musical notation for my young violin and clarinet players. If that's what you're looking for, don't buy this book. It is a fun book but doesn't provide as much depth as I would like. This is not geared toward budding musicians, but to children looking to expand on a very elementary level.
The Basher Science books are the first our children start out on as infants. They are enchanted still at ages 9 and 10 by the colorful, creative, fun, fascinating way sometimes-complex subjects are made simple, tangible, and practical. As an adult, I have never enjoyed the subjects that Basher offers as much as I do now with their brilliant books! The books' size, shape, graphics, text, font size, and colors all collaborate to make these what we wish were Required Reading for schools!I have made our toddlers' homework with the Physics and other sciences Basher books, and would Love for Basher to create homework to accompany the books! Thank you for bringing to life the subjects about which you write, Basher Books!
Was pleasantly surprised that this little book looked exactly like it was shown. Fun and easy to read. I'm sure my nephew will love learning for the first time about music from this book, I know I did. This should be a great step forward in pursuing his musical career. Delivered on time and in great condition. Thanks again.
The basher serious is a wonderful addition to teaching children many different subjects. The book was shipped on time and was in good condition as described. I highly recommend them. This music edition is great to teach basic music grammar.
My daughter has every one of these Basher books, and loves how the Music book introduces elements of music and music theory in an easily accessible manner. The pictures and written explanation are clear and easy to understand, and makes learning about music fun.
Basher manages to make picture books about complicated subjects that are fun and make complex ideas understandable. A picture is worth a thousand words.
This book is thinner than the rest, but explains parts of music nicely. I think my daughter has stashed it someplace to keep it for herself!
