Publisher's blurb:
Irreverent, but practical too, here is everything (and we mean everything) there is to know about the art of the kazoo.
Learn about the kazoo's American origins and its sacred prehistory: Did you know its African forerunner was used to communicate messages from the spirit world? How to play: beginning with the all-important "Hum, don't blow. Plus forming a kazoo band, sound effects, office tricks, home and garden projects, and X-treme kazoo.
From the first lesson (Hum - don't blow!) to the intricate patterns of a kazoo marching band, Barbara Stewart is your guide to the world of the kazoo. She starts with the premise that the kazoo is an instrument of both good music and good times. The book covers: how to recruit reluctant players for a kazoo band, stealth kazooing (camouflage techniques for beginners who aren't ready to perform in public), kazooing for families (including a section on "Entertaining Baby"), corporate kazooing (including bonding exercises for those all-important corporate off-sites), and even dating calls (for desperate kazooists). Also included are all the musical genres that are just waiting to be kazooed: from classical to diva ballads and rap (a handy rhyming chart is including). Contains new sections on wedding music, kazoo parenting, muting, the piggy snort, kazoo cell phone rings, cyber kazooing, quality-time kazooing (for parents with children), advanced marching band formations, and home and garden kazooing.
