The coolest facts about the music we make, listen to and love.This illustrated book explores how music and the ways we experience it has transformed over the years and the science behind all of it. It starts with the basics --- how does sound work? and what, exactly, is music? --- then follows the progression of music-recording technology, from the phonograph to streaming. It covers how everyday items like headphones were created, and includes a look at the science of how we experience music (like why we can't get certain songs out of our heads). All while suggested playlists accompany the text so that readers can listen along!Kids know that music moves them. Now they can learn how!
