STEAM Stories - Visiting the Orchestra book
STEAM Stories - Visiting the Orchestra book by Mackenzie Harper
An edu-taining new series that introduces simple science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) words in an engaging, rhyming story. Specifically, this is a book which introduces vocabulary related to musical art.
With bright, energetic illustrations, and simple, rhyming text, "Visiting the Orchestra" follows Emma and John as they visit an orchestra during practice. They hold their ears as the musicians tune their instruments, watch in awe as the conductor takes her place at the head of the orchestra, and listen as each instrument gets a chance to play . . . culminating in a tap of the baton . . .
What’s that sound everyone hears?
The most lovely melody fills the hall.
And it’s music to our ears!
