Write and Record Your Own Songs by Anna Leigh, 32 pages. NON-FICTION. Lerner, 2018. $21.
Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A book in the Alternator Books: Digital Makers series, this title presents a 12-step checklist for making music divided into four chapters. The reader learns a little about writing a song, parts of a song, recording and editing tracks, different recording spaces, posting a song, identifying key words, and building an audience. Beyonce and the violinist Lindsey Stirling are featured in photos, and Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes are featured in sidebars. The book ends with a final chapter about staying safe online. It also includes a glossary (with bold words in text), index, and further information section.
This is a solid title that could be used to teach students about the features of non-fiction texts or the how-to, active non-fiction genre, in addition to how to make music. Though it does not cover how to use recording, editing, or sharing technologies, nor suggestions on what technologies to use, these titles will definitely inspire interested kids to go for it by giving them a concrete way to make a plan and start on their own creative journey. If you need to grow your 700 section, this is a good choice.

I wanted to read this book because I write songs and want to be a singer. The book told me how to put a song together and told me about computer programs and stuff that you can use to write songs. I like it a lot. (Livia, second grader)
