An introduction to jazz for young children, in a lively picture book complete with sound buttons to hear the instruments, the rhythms, and the New Orleans sound of 'When the Saints Go Marching In' - a jazz song everyone knows!

This charming and interactive picture book with sound panel is like a ticket to a concert hall. Narrated by three mice, Welcome to the Symphony takes readers on a journey that begins with the musicians tuning up. Readers learn the basics: What is a conductor? What is a symphony? Who was Beethoven? The elements of music: melody, harmony, tempo.

"In this interactive book with 12 sound chips, you'll hear the range of human voices--from coloratura soprano to the deep bass baritone. You'll learn the difference between a quintet and a trio. The role of the orchestra. How it all comes together in a big finale. The book tells the story of Mozart's opera The Magic Flute and features full-color illustrations"--
