Rich in content, Travels with Music Series One is a collection of facts, videos and quizzes on 57 lesser known musical instruments from 15 countries. (Travels with Music Series One disk is not about typical US band instruments.) An in-depth look at each instrument is presented through print and video. For example, the Nigeria Shekere (a type of drum) features footage of a master Design Features percussionist named Baba Ken Okulol, who proudly shows how the instrument is constructed and played via nine short demonstrations. The videos are well-done, and the central part of this program features live concert footage and first-person narration from original sources.
After learning about the instrument, you can take a 10-question multiple-choice quiz. If you get a perfect score, you "earn" the instrument. The idea is to eventually earn all the instruments in Travels with Music Series One. Extra content includes a very useful game of musical concentration (with three levels) that lets children match sounds with the instruments.
All in all, Travels with Music Series One is a very useful addition to any music education library.
