The total length of the audio recordings, which contain rhythms and melodies related to musical instruments, is about 300 minutes! You can enjoy listening to them in a luxurious way.
♪ Bonus DVD to enjoy with Doraemon (about 70 minutes) World Music / Secrets of Concert Halls / Instrument Quiz / Let's Play with Music! / How to Sing Well [Recommended Information from the Editor] The best music picture book ever made has been completed. Many of the performances and instrument photos were carefully taken one by one over a period of about three years just for this picture book. We focused on instruments that are loved by active performers, and were able to capture the depth of flavor that has been experienced through years of playing. In addition, at the same time as filming, we recorded rhythms and melodies related to the instruments, and the total length is about 300 minutes! We also focused on a simple design so that anyone can compare the sounds with simple smartphone operations.
This is an illustrated book where everyone from small children to music-loving adults can discover sounds they have never known before. If you find a sound you like, be sure to go to a concert or recital to hear the real thing. You might also want to try learning to play that instrument. We hope that this illustrated book will be an opportunity to discover a new world of music.
