Raggin' Jazzin' Rockin' / Susan VanHecke 136 p.
Susan VanHecke presents stories of famous American musical instrument makers and inventors. Learn about a German carpenter who came to New York City determined to build the greatest piano-- the Steinway. Go along with Robert Moog (rhymes with vogue) as he invents the Moog synthesizer. Study how Larry Hammond turned electricity into music via the Hammond organ. At a concert I found myself recognizing the Ludwig drum and wondering if the drummer used the Zildjian cymbals both discussed in this book. Adults will enjoy this read as well as children.
