"""I LOVE this book!""--Mindy Peterson, NCTM, music educator & podcast host ""This thorough, readable, and meticulously annotated book is alive with stories of people, instruments, singing, dancing, and community-building through notes. It's a reminder that wherever humans go, music goes too--always reminding us of our capacity for joy and grief; always reminding us of our shared humanity.""--No Dead Guys"
