Meet the Orchestra - Austin Coe

Meet the Orchestra by Ann Hayes is a fun little story about different animals playing different instruments. The story tells of all the animals slowly gathering together for a performance that evening. The story introduces and explains each individual instrument using poetic descriptions and exciting illustrations.

This book would be perfect to teach students the different instruments of an orchestra. You would be able to use different vocabulary found in the book to describe what they sound like and what they do in an orchestra. This book would also be a great pre-teaching tool before showing your students what a real orchestra sounds like! This book overall is a great tool to use when teaching about classical music and the orchestral setting.
