The music of other cultures is the starting point for this book which encourages pupils of all abilities to express creativity through music and appreciate a variety of musical traditions - an important element in the National Curriculum. Each of nine projects explores a different country or continent, for example, Israel, Japan, Africa, West Indies, USA. The graphic scores - best described as sound pictures - help students to read and play music and to recreate the musical atmosphere of each place. A variety of songs are included throughout, folk songs, calypsos, jazz and rounds - some of which are in the language of the country in an interesting but simple way. A 'Things to do' section helps build a cultural picture of the country as well as fostering a deeper understanding of and respect for the music and customs of other nations.
