School supplies are quickly accessible. Through playful experiments and exercises, the author invites exploration of the sound spectrum of everyday school items. The sounds created with pencils, rulers, or books provide the basis for 18 pieces with titles like "Tapping Pencils" or "Book Ballet," which can be performed without lengthy learning of playing techniques. Scissors become sound objects in "Scissor Play" just as much as "The Sounding Pencil Case." Combined with groovy rhythms and motivating spoken texts, these pieces are suitable for both classroom practice and performances. They sound particularly impressive when played in groups, such as in a classroom setting or a music club. What an auditory experience when 25 rulers buzz in rhythm simultaneously! The exercises and pieces come in varying levels of difficulty.
