A Child’s Introduction To The Symphony

This is the interactive picture book that introduces a young child to the symphony using one of the most famous works in classical music. Playing portions of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, its 19-button sound panel illustrates different aspects of music such as melody, harmony, tempo, and theme. It also allows readers to hear the different voices of the music—the famous beginning of the Fifth, what a clarinet sounds like, the difference between a violin and a viola, and the families of instruments—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Hardbound, 32 pages. Ages 4-8. 12″ H x 10 1/4″ W x 1/2″ D.
