Description
"
In Making Music, I set out to offer the young child the same experience in creating music that they already had in visual arts, using finger-paints or crayons."
- Morton Subotnick
Morton Subotnick's Making Music is the first title in his music series that includes Making More Music, Hearing Music, and Playing Music.
