The Piano

Children discover that a piano can give life to their feelings. Music can give life to anything and everything. And that’s exactly what happens when a boy and girl play their brand new piano for the first time. As they take turns tapping keys, the children discover that even the simplest melody can stir up a symphony of sensations.

This playful tale invites children to explore how music makes them feel. Hear how sounds attune to emotions. See how music colors the imagination. From synesthesia to onomatopoeia, these musical sketches show that learning big words and even bigger ideas can be as simple as PLINK, PLANK, PLONK.
