Welcome to the Symphony: A Musical Exploration of the Orchestra Using Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 (Welcome to Music! Sound Button Books)

I can’t say enough good things about this book. This is is a fantastic book and my 3 year old and 1 year old read it at least 3 times a day. It’s so enjoyable and educational. The music is wonderful, the descriptions of the symphony, instruments, and elements of music are beautiful. I like how the pages have different types of print so i can choose which parts to read to my young kids who won’t sit for too long (sometimes we just read what the mice are saying or just the descriptions of the instruments if we’re in a rush.) Besides the music, my son is learning how to recognize and match numbers from this book because each sound is numbered in the book and in the sound bar. He is learning fine motor by pressing the button the right way. My son has a significant speech delay and difficulties expressing himself, but he can say and act out all of these instruments and musical elements in this book. He asks to listen to “the symphony” every day now on the radio. This book is the family favorite and I can’t wait to try out the jazz version.

Cool audio book, nicely done. Purchased for our teen grandson who loves audio books. I liked that it was not too babyish, it is always great to find age appropriate sensory material.

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.

Beautiful, works well, good introduction to instruments and symphony

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

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.

What a wonderfully fabulous book!! Well-written and fantastic illustrations. The sound buttons are awesome. Highly recommend!

Nice book, kids enjoy listening to instruments

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 !

Un po' costoso per il prodotto che si riceve. I suoni degli strumenti sono bassi e le melodie molto brevi, rimane comunque un buon prodotto ma dovrebbe essere piú economico
