Nola Note lädt ein zur Weltreise für kleine Ohren. Denn als Note ist sie schnell wie der Schall und in null Komma nichts um den Erdball gesaust. Auf jedem Kontinent hat sie andere Instrumente als Freunde: Sie lauscht den Trompeten von Mexiko, tanzt einen argentinischen Tango mit dem Bandoneon, summt zur Indianerflöte, bestaunt den Dudelsack der Schotten oder die Trommeln in Afrika. Dabei erzählt sie viel Spannendes von den Ländern und Menschen, deren Musik so unterschiedlich ist wie ihr Leben, ihre Tänze, ihre Kultur, ihr Temperament.

Alle kleinen (und gerne auch großen) Ohren, die von Nolas erster Reise rund um den singenden, klingenden und tanzenden Globus begeistert waren, aufgehorcht! Nola saust aufs Neue los... Wieder ist sie auf jedem Kontinent zu Besuch bei den Menschen, ihren Instrumenten und nimmt teil an deren Leben und Kultur. Jeden, der Lust auf Neues hat, nimmt sie mit. Ohren und Herz auf und los geht's!

Dabei lernt sie den charmanten Ritter von Ringelstein kennen, der sich dem Minnesang widmet, oder den coolen Wenzel, eine Funkwelle der Neuzeit.
