"Welcome to the Symphony [lives] up to the publisher's promise that children will enjoy it . . . it passed the 4-year-old test with flying colors." — The Washington Post
“An ideal way to introduce children to the magic of music—delightful, charming, wonderfully entertaining, beautifully illustrated.”
–Gerard Schwarz, music director, The All-Star Orchestra and music director laureate, Seattle Symphony
―Gerard Schwarz
"A delight for kids of any age! Educational, fun, a visual and aural treat, this book introduces children to the wonderful world of symphony music. With gorgeous illustrations, clear and straightforward descriptions of the instruments, and interactive buttons that play beautiful Beethoven, this will have your kids dragging you to the symphony! I simply adored it."
–Terry Kinney, director, actor, and co-founder of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
―Terry Kinney
“Lively, beautifully written…a charming way to educate the next generation of concert-goers.”
–Orin O’Brien, double bassist, The New York Philharmonic
―Orin O’Brien
“This beautiful book appeals on so many levels...The charming illustrations and brilliant musical recordings provide the perfect sensory stimuli, while the text illuminates every question a child might have about the experience in the most natural and satisfying way.”
–Dorothy Lawson, artistic director, Ethel String Quartet
―Dorothy Lawson
"An introduction to one of the greatest of all classical works that quite wondrously includes not just words and pictures, but some of the music itself. And to think that the musicians playing the excerpts are young people as well, members of the New York Youth Symphony! What could be more inspiring?"–Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Listener's Encyclopedia of Classical Music

5.0 out of 5 stars Dah dah dah wonderful book
Great book!! My daughter loves to know about the musical instruments and the orchestra!!! Wonderful to read and play with my 2 year old!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this music book
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 is nicely written. Has beautiful illustrations and the sound buttons are easily used. Its got a nice storyline and the pages are good quality. Super nice book for a older child maybe 4-5 years old. My 9month old just tried to rip it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius
This book is my 2 year olds biggest obsession. She’s been asking for it multiple times a day for over a month since I bought it. This is brilliant. Best kids book I’ve ever bought. Rather than wanting to watch TV, she only wants to watch videos of symphonies and press the buttons in the book when different instruments come on screen. We’ve probably had well over 100 hours of entertainment from this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling for a toddler who loves music and dance
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 :).
Excelente regalo
Muy bonito y bastante bien hecho
Music book.
For my great-grandson.he loves music.he loves the book.It is a great book.
Excelente!
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.)
Well worth it!
My four year old grandson adores this book. His early childhood music class teacher used it in class and all of the children adored it. He especially loved the little story that the mice are telling about the music and the concert. He likes to make up his own stories and words for the musical excerpts.
Great introduction to the elements of a symphony
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.
