The book starts with the trombone's "mournful moan," playing solo then adds a trumpet, French horn and cello-all sounding forth a signature hello. It also incorporates numbers as a new instrument joins in. The music stops when the team finally reaches a chamber group of ten. This book would be great for counting and discussing musical termonology.  elwindle | Nov 9, 2009 |  This is the story of ten musical instruments that come in one-by-one and make up a band. As you read through the story, several instruments are mentioned. Trombones, trumpets, cellos, French horns, violins, flutes, clarinets, oboes, harps, and bassoons all join in. There are lots of musical words and terms thrown in also. Some of those include solo, duo, trio, quartet, keys, notes, valves, chamber group, brasses, strings, reeds, and encore. This would be a great book to read to students as they get ready to head to music or as a musical era is discussed in class.

From a soloist to an orchestra, the reader learns the names of different amounts of people playing instruments. Multiple instruments are named and illustrated. There are also many wonderfully descriptive words included in the book. adsinyard | Oct 25, 2009 | This book is filled with instruments and counting. The colors are bight and a lot of different colors are used. The illustrations are amazing how the characters almost look like you can hear there music. The title of the book makes you think that the book is only about violins, but this is only one of the instruments that is added to the growing orchestra. This is a cute, fun, and rhyming poetry book. I loved this book because I believe that the pictures will entice the students to want to listen. I like how the go perfectly with their instrument. I also like how after each character is added they show and tell how many that makes all together. I love the fact that the instruments are very visible and very realistic. This was an overall good poetry book. I could have each student pick an instrument from the book and write a short poem about why that is their favorite instrument. I could have the students draw and write a counting book of their own. BNededog | Sep 19, 2009 | This book introduces the instruments and sounds of a chamber orchestra as they appear for a concert. It also provides a clever counting exercise, as the stage fills with more and more musicians and their instruments. As a creative counting book for young readers, this book lacks a specific theme, literary point of view or realistic characters. However, its illustrations are skillful in putting the jazzy, fluid idea of music into pictures. They also serve to create an interesting setting, where musicians are as funky as their instruments. Even more effective are the alliterative and rhyming words that the author uses to describe each instrument in detail. (  ) gkuhns | Jul 1, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
