"An ideal way to introduce children to the magic of music--delightful,
charming, wonderfully entertaining, beautifully illustrated."--Gerard
Schwarz, Music Director, the All-Star Orchestra
Discover what a symphony is. Who Beethoven was. What happens when a
conductor takes the podium and faces of the orchestra. And when you
should and shouldn't clap.
Here is a unique, interactive introduction to the world of classical
music, presenting one of the most famous symphonies ever written, by one
the most famous composers who ever lived.
With its 19-button sound panel, you'll hear the different parts and
voices of the music--the beginning of Symphony No. 5, the melody, the
harmony, the sounds made by a violin, a viola, a cello, a double bass,
and more. And you can even sing along.
Note to parents: The secret to raising a child to love and
appreciate classical music isn't a secret at all. You just need to
listen with your child and be a willing explorer. Talk about what you
hear. Marvel at the sounds. Try to identify the instruments--and have
fun with it!
