Stone Age people made ocarinas and whistles from stone, bone and wood. The 21 songs in Music Time-Traveller trace the history of vessel flutes from their earliest origins globally from China and the Americas to Europe and more recently England. It also showcases how music has been written down, from earliest times on tablets of clay and papyrus, to the printing press and beyond.

Never before has there been a music book quite like Music Time-Traveller…

All the music is totally accessible for children and teachers alike with the presentation and content as appropriate for 5 year olds as for 15 year olds. The English 4-hole Ocarina, for which these songs are written, is a ‘chameleon’ instrument that it fits in perfectly with each era. Or play on recorders, ukuleles, glockenspiels or the whole class band.

Perform these songs as a continuous narrative from ‘Stone Age Hands’ and ‘Bone Flutes’ to ‘Disco Party 2050’ to showcase 42,050 years of history. Use your own links or those suggested on each page of the class music books.

The authentic piano accompaniments and extension materials will take you and your pupils through a world history of music. All is cross-referenced, making this a great addition for history lessons as well as music.
