In this simple introduction to seven musical terms, Robert Heidbreder's rhythmic poetry is paired with Dusan Petricic's exuberant illustrations to perfectly convey the terms' meanings. Each term is first featured on a spread beside an image of a conductor animatedly leading his (unseen) orchestra in alignment with the term. Turn the page, and we find a short line of text that provides a succinct physical definition of the term, along with expressive art showcasing the animal orchestra using movement to interpret the description. It's a performance so enticing, readers won't be able to resist joining in!
