Inspiring, motivating, practical, effective.

In Horning In, Jerry and Lucie Germer collaborate to turn music-loving adults into music-creating adults. A lively, accessible text is enhanced with cartoons to inspire the reader to get started at making whatever kind of music will recharge his or her spiritual batteries, prove self-fulling, and provide sheer fun through the joy of creating and performing. Horning In is the ideal "getting started" guide for anyone who has never before played an instrument of any kind, as well as for the man or woman who once played an instrument in their youth but whose adult life has been too filled with the necessities of making a living for them to continue earlier ambitions for music making. This mini-encyclopedia offers inspiration and information that will prove invaluable to starting (or re-starting) a personal involvement in amateur music as either a therapy to relieve modern stress or just for the fun of it!
