About this ebook
Basher Basics: Music created and illustrated by Simon Basher, written by Dan Green:
Basher brings his signature pop-life style to a whole new topic in this one-stop guide to the building blocks of music. Meet Rhythm and Pitch, who know how to hold a tune; Time Signature, who loves to keep control; clever Chord, who works patterns to great effect; Brass, the powerful loudmouth of the instrument types; and Classical, Pop and Electronic from a crew of sweet characters. The personality-based explanations will make it easy to remember the essential concepts behind musical expression. You'll never look at the orchestra or listen to a piece of music in the same way again!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The lyrical text and the cartoon like illustrations suggest that this is a book for a very young audience. But I did not feel that it would hold the attention of a very young audience for very long, at least not as something to be read in its entirety to a young class. It could be that young children are excited by this style, but I was turned off by the cutesy robotic images used to personify traits of music, and the upbeat use of language seemed a bit contrived. Perhaps young children would like to have this book read to them in small doses, but it is not something that I would use in my teaching.
