Book Reviews of Meet the Orchestra
Book Review: Introduction to Music
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book for my 4 year old grandaughter after members of the symphony visted her pre-school. The illustrations are beautiful and the animal musicians kept her interest as we talked about each of the instruments. The book is a wonderful way to intoduce any child to the joys of music.Book Review: Meet the Orchestra
Summary: 4 Stars
Love the illustrations. My 3 year old grandson does not relate to it very well but I think that as he gets older it will grab his interest more. I will keep reading it to him once in a while.Book Review: unfortunate grammar
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a music teacher and at first reading I was very impressed until I reached the page where the book stated that the musicians were "coming on the stage" instead of "coming onto the stage". This error is grave enough that I decided not to buy multiple copies as student incentives. Defacing books is generally a bad idea, but I plan to cross out and write over the offending error before giving it to my nephew.Book Review: A fun book that introduces instruments to your child
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughters really like this book. They love the different animals and instruments. I love the words and descriptions they use while talking about what each instrument does and sounds like. I only wish they had a cassette tape that went along with it to introduce the sounds of the instruments as well.Book Review: Maybe I'm being too picky
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't have any children, so maybe I'm being too picky with this book but I felt the string section was covered nicely. The Violin, Viola, Cello, and string bass all were discussed. When it came to woodwinds, flute, piccolo, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, and bass clarinet were all shown (they seem to have forgotten saxophone may be more common than oboe.) . The brass section was empty only showcasing French Horn, Trumpet, and Tuba...leaving out euphonium or baritone, cornet, trombone. Basically that brings me to me to my point, the brass section of the book was bad...
