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. The families of instruments - strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. But the best part is that every idea is illustrated in sound. Nineteen sound buttons allow readers to actually hear the different parts and voices of the music. The famous beginning of the Fifth, what a clarinet sounds like, what a melody is, and what harmony is. Kids will want to match their voices to the A note that the concertmaster plays to tune the orchestra, dance to the full-throated passages and, of course, sing along to da-da-da-daah!
Kids love music. They're natural singers and dancers, and they improvise every time they play. They were born for jazz! And Welcome to Jazz was made for them. A follow-up to Welcome to the Symphony - with over 70,000 copies in print - Welcome to Jazz is also written by music educator Carolyn Sloan, and uses Symphony's ingenious, interactive picture-book-and-sound-chip format. Structured around the iconic song "When the Saints Go Marching In," Welcome to Jazz narrates the story of jazz and discusses what the audience is hearing as the band begins to play. Best of all, the sound chips actually demonstrate what's happening - what vocal scatting sounds like, how to pick out a swing beat, and the tones of different instruments, from the trumpet to the clarinet. And in the end, kids can sing along with the band in a traditional call-and-response verse.

From the author of Welcome to the Symphony and Welcome to Jazz, this musical picture book introduces children to opera with 12 sound interactive buttons and an illustrated performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute.

Plus, 12 interactive sound buttons let readers hear examples of the musical concepts as they read: a soprano sings a heartfelt aria, a powerful bass sings recitative, and the chorus harmonizes during the dramatic finale!

Finding Your Voice won't teach you to sound like Frank Sinatra, Maria Callas, or the latest rock singer. This rare and inspiring book will encourage you to sound like you -- and once you develop your own voice, you are likely to find inner harmony and strength as well. Professional singing instructor Carolyn Sloan explains to readers that "voice" extends way beyond the mere sound produced by your own vocal chords. Instead, the way you sound has more to do with your unique form of self-expression. Whereas many books on singing are impersonal and "how-to" in their teaching methods, Finding Your Voice is holistic in its philosophy, allowing readers to create their own individual course of study. Therapeutic and spiritually engaging, this book offers easy-to-follow exercises for such preparatory measures as breathing and diction; it also ventures to teach readers to use singing as a metaphor for facing other challenges in their lives. Finding Your Voice is for people of all levels -- from the shower to the Metropolitan Opera.
