Always careful to teach young readers the correct names for instrument parts - here the xylophone “beaters” or sticks, and “notes” for the sounding bars – the text of this book also gives a clear explanation of why longer wooden bars produce lower sounds than short ones. Once again, the instrument does not play as it should; when Sammy Snail crawls out of the notes, everyone has a good laugh. Playing, recording and mixing music with a computer, then putting it onto the website integrates the media in a sophisticated way – perfect for children of the Electronic Age.
