“The Composer Is Dead” by Lemony Snicket
An ‘introduction to the orchestra’ piece à la “Peter and the Wolf”I just wanted to share this with you. I know its not really a “music problem” but its funny. Plus I laughed at the “everyone forgets the violas” part. (sorry violas)
My practicum teacher used this story book as an introduction to the orchestra with her elementary kids last semester. It was incredibly adorable, and also just an excellent book.
Though I had to control my laughter, or I would have been cackling in the back while going through it with the kids. She and I exchanged many “haha did you get it???” looks because of all the inside, music jokes that the kids didn’t quite get.
