Welcome to the Symphony: A Musical Exploration of the Orchestra Using Beethov...

12.30.23 I got my grandniece a child's xylophone. Not that they need to be bought together, but this is a good introduction to music. The packaging was secure with no inner or outer damage. The design is very pretty and colorful. The notes match the found of the instruments. The book opens to the left and the instrument buttons are on the right. I highly recommend this as a tool for children and as play for adults. I definitely will buy this again.

My kids love music books. This gave me the opportunity to keep their interest in classical music as well as give them more context in how symphonies work. They love it!

There is no plastic tab to pull out to start the batteries. Below the battery case is a black switch that if you look carefully says on and off. Once I found that it was off to the orchestra! My 9 year old wants to be a maestro when she grows up and this was so bright and fun. Also it wasn't too loud or too soft@ Great buy.

This book was a fun way to explore the symphony, and all the different instruments! The added audio learning from the buttons really brings it to life. My kids have loved hearing the instruments and comparing them.

Good for learning the sounds of musical instruments played by musicians of an orchestra

Toddler loves this and the Jazz book by same author. Has learned so much about instruments and how they sound from them.

My 2-year-old grandson LOVES this book and entertains himself in his bed in the morning by playing the music and looking at the pages for up to an hour. The first book he wants to read in the evening too. “Bate-HO-ven” is his favorite composer :).

Great book!! My daughter loves to know about the musical instruments and the orchestra!!! Wonderful to read and play with my 2 year old!!

Muy bonito y bastante bien hecho

For my great-grandson.he loves music.he loves the book.It is a great book.

Welcome to the symphony é um livrinho maravilhoso para apresentar o mundo da música, da orquestra e da sinfonia para as crianças. Usando a 5a Sinfonia de Beethoven e uma linguagem bem acessível, a autora explica o que é tema principal, melodia e harmonia em uma sinfonia. Fala do papel do spalla e do maestro, fala sobre tom, afinação, tempo e sobre as notas musicais. Por fim, fala sobre os instrumentos e seus respectivos grupos dentro da orquestra. Na lateral do livro podemos ouvir o som de alguns instrumentos e de partes da sinfonia, tornando mais fácil, por exemplo, a compreensão da diferença entre melodia, harmonia e tema principal. Excelente! (Não encontrei ainda em português um livro que fale dessa forma - com sons e uma linguagem simples - sobre sinfonias. De toda forma, vale a pena comprar e colar a tradução ao lado de cada texto.)

Absolutely awesome !

Thoughtful, educational book for 7-year-olds and older. Themed on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Kids get to hear different instruments to understand the different instrument sections in an orchestra - so strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Delightful. Grandkids enjoy reading. Great gift.
