Audio + Visual = phenomenal
Sounds Good! uses an innovative approach to introduce 50 common and uncommon musical instruments. The pictures are of animals playing the instruments, and the text is filled with basic facts about the instruments’ history, construction, or fun trivia. However, what makes this introductory book a phenomenal tool is that every page contains a QR code so you can listen to a snippet of an original composition using the featured instruments. I enjoyed activating the audio clip and reading the instrument description simultaneously which made for a unique sensorial experience. One small point of disappointment is the clip was longer than it took me to read a page. Although if a child was reading along the length might work out better. The basic facts paired with the audio clips make this book versatile for a wide age range of readers. I can see this being a wonderful addition to a home library, classroom, or music instruction. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and learning about common and unusual instruments.
