About this title

Synopsis

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.

Reviews

Architect Jerry Germer and his wife, Lucie (an ESL teacher), "want to get you playing, either going back to an instrument you once played, or taking up something completely new." In a conversational, folksy way, they challenge adults to put aside their age, talent (or perceived lack thereof), physical limitations, time limitation, and any other excuses; making music, they stress, is a fun activity. Drawing on their experience as amateur musicians, the experiences of others, and advice from professional musicians, they provide guidelines for choosing the right instrument, deciding on a workable learning plan, and finding outlets for music-making. They also list some information on burgeoning web-related resources. Studies examining the benefits of adult participation in music organizations are fairly common, but resources like this one, devoted to encouraging adult music-making, are virtually nonexistent. For public libraries.
