Making Music

Music is a fantastic way to introduce kids to the concept of STEAM—science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. Playing an instrument involves a lot of creativity and artistic ability, but it also involves a lot of science! As readers explore different kinds of instruments—from strings and brass to percussion and woodwinds—they learn the science behind how these instruments make music. Helpful photographs—many with clear labels—allow readers to visualize what they're reading about, and the colorful design is meant to appeal to young and reluctant readers.
