An Overivew of Music History by Nancy Bachus and Tom Gerou.
This beautifully illustrated history of music has lots to offer young readers, including an excellent introduction to musical style and tips on how to listen to music.
Each unit covers a musical period (from the Greeks to the present), with period art and illustrations; text boxes highlighting musical developments, composers, historical and cultural events, musical forms, music's relation to other arts; activities and quizzes; and a listening guide keyed to the CD. Bravo!
