Today’s episode of Busy Kids Love Music explores the symphony, which is a word that you might hear a lot but aren’t exactly sure what it means. Not only will I tell you what it means, but we’ll also learn…
- How many musicians play in a symphony orchestra
- Who is considered the Father of the Symphony
- All about the symphonic form
Today’s episode is going to prepare you for Episode 12, where we’ll be listening to and discussing Beethoven’s nine symphonies.
