Miranda Molina - Traditions Around the World by Louise Tythacott

Traditions Around the World: Musical Instruments by Louise Tythacott is an informative book about musical instruments around the world. The book gives a nice description of all different kinds of instruments and starts with categorizing them by continent and region. Each chapter gives a solid description of the musical history of each continent or region and describes their dominant style of music. This is a good tool for students if they need to conduct their own small research project on instruments based by region or if they are curious about world music. The nice balance of factual information and photographs of the instruments and performers makes for a great book for young learners.
