Synopsis:
Eye-catching illustrations and an accompanying 70-minute CD make this an exciting and educational introduction to the world of classical music-from composers and music history to the instruments of the orchestra-for elementary age children (and parents, too!).
Illustrated in exquisite and colorful detail with over 100 original drawings and photographs, the engaging text is broken into three sections:
- An introduction to each instrument of the orchestra from the cello to the timpani
- The stories of famous composers from Bach to Stravinsky.
- An explanation of different musical styles from Baroque to Modern.
Join Orchestra Bob on this fun and exciting musical journey. Perfect for young students just starting to play an orchestral instrument as well as for parents and teachers looking for a simple introduction to the principles and history of classical music.
