A how-to book to inspire adults to take up a musical instrument, with advice on overcoming obstacles, choosing an instrument, finding the best learning method, and finding other amateurs to play with. The text draws on the expertise of the authors, both amateur musicians, and the experiences of many other adults whose quality of life is enhanced by making music. Over 100 cartoons and illustrations make the book as entertaining as it is informative. The appendix gives a list of helpful resources, glossary, and index.

Unlike music method books, this book starts at the real beginning, providing a push for adults who have always wanted to play an instrument but need a nudge to get them started.
We are both professionals in fields other than music: teacher and architect/writer, who engage in music making for fun, personal fulfillment, and the satisfaction of creating something of beauty with others. Jerry started out on piano and has added several other instruments over the years. Lucie began on flute, put it aside after high school, and took up trombone at the age of 45. The enthusiasm we have encountered among amateurs we play with inspired us to encourage the many adults who have yet to discover this life-enriching pursuit.
