Welcome to the Symphony: A Musical Exploration of the Orchestra Using Beethoven's Symphony No. 5

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

A hard cover book with a button sound pad on the right side. As the pages of the book are turned there are numbers on the instruments on that page. Press the corresponding number on the button pad to hear the Musical note for that instrument. There is knowledge and learning within this book on every page for all ages particularly if the opportunity to learn music was never given. A great fun, educational book with lovely illustrations. My only nit pick would be use of the work yeah which is a pity in such a volume of interest. The main thread is it’s a jolly good buy and will teach any age about a musician and music.

My 5 year old loves this book! It has just enough text for this age group and the music buttons turn it into a great interactive experience. A good introduction to classical music.

Good book for explaining about symphony orchestra - my grandchildren loved the it!

Super sound book. Mice talk the children through the orchestra

Luckily I was able to try this out before giving it as a gift as somebody else had activated the battery before returning it. I did the same, it would have been a great disappointment to the recipient. It went straight back.

What a shame. It didn't work when I received it, even though it had batteries included. I asked for another one and that didn't work either!!!!

Batteries were rotted into compartment. Very dangerous and disappointing

Muy bonito y bastante bien hecho

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 !

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.

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.
