About the Author

Wendy Lynch is a Heinemann-Raintree author.

From Booklist

Reviewed with Wendy Lynch's Percussion.

Gr. 2-4. "How can you change the pitch a drum plays?" "How does a piano make and stop its sound?" With a lively, full-color photograph on every page and a clear, informative text, these two books in the Musical Instruments series introduce groups of instruments in the orchestra. Lynch talks about the sounds each instrument makes how particular instruments make music ("when you press a key, air is forced into a pipe and vibrates to make a sound"), and the joy of listening and of playing alone or together. The back sections include a detailed glossary, a bibliography, and a few basic questions to think about. In music classes and for personal interest, young players and listeners will feel the excitement and the connection. Other books in the series on Strings, Woodwind, and Brass are listed in the Series Roundup in this issue. Hazel Rochman
