Tune up and tune in to the wonderful
world of music and sound!
The projects you've seen on this web site are just some of the fun projects
and activities you'll enjoy in the book Rubber-Band Banjos. In this book,
kids age 8 to 12 (and their parents!) discover the mysteries and melodies
behind the science of music and sound.
Learn how sounds are made, and how we hear them. Find out how your favorite
instruments actually make music. You can even create your own electronic
music studio.
Step-by-step instructions and illustrations guide you through dozens of projects and experiments. From a French horn made from a shower hose to a xylophone made from an egg carton and some household wrenches, "Rubber-Band Banjos and a Java Jive Bass" makes you part of the coolest band in town!
