After reading the book we played the full length pieces of some of the ones Floss really enjoyed. She also wanted to learn about some of the instruments. The London Philharmonia Orchestra have a great series on YouTube that give you a wonderful introduction to different instruments. We looked at a few – Floss’ favourite was the flute. They are a great series to refer to when looking at instruments. We also used some mini models of instrument s too. These are so cute and Floss enjoys using them to form Orchestras and bands with her toys.

Much of the text, be it in the instrument or composer section, is repetitive and the necessity to fill in from the internet is disappointing. When it was 'working' we enjoyed it immensely, when it wasn't we struggled through. Why couldn't they edit/ finish it to get the fine product they are on the verge of?! Our annual New York residency established – the first by a British orchestra. To coincide with the residency, WQXR in New York begins an annual series of radio features about the Orchestra. LSO Live releases its 100th release, a Colin Davis Anthology Box Set, to coincide with the anniversary of his death in April.Leonard Bernstein conducts the Orchestra for the first time, in a performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No 7 at the Royal Festival Hall. The engaging text is broken into three sections: an introduction to each instrument of the orchestra from the cello to the timpani, the stories of famous composers from Bach to Stravinsky and an explanation of different musical styles from Baroque to Modern. Each step of the way, children can listen to actual musical examples of what they are learning about. Young readers will hear the sound of an actual violin as they study the instrument and enjoy the playful tune of a Mozart minuet as they read about the composer's precocious exploits as a child.
