SuitabookM Is for Music
Kathleen Krull
- Reading
- Try reading a few alphabet entries at a time, then follow whichever musical reference catches the reader’s interest. Older readers can use the endnotes as a starting point for further exploration.
- Themes
- Music through the alphabet: The book uses the alphabet to range across musical styles, instruments and performers, with endnotes extending the invitation to explore. The alphabet appears to organise an introduction to a varied musical subject, rather than making a claim about one particular style.
- Worth knowing
- Music is presented broadly, including anthems, unusual instruments, virtuoso performers and zydeco. If some references are unfamiliar, pausing to listen or look them up could make the variety more tangible.
