This week, we’re highlighting Forte Moves to Town.
You can find these storybooks and more by selecting UNITS then the unit category LITERACY.
Forte Moves to Town
Whisper, talk, and SHOUT along with the dynamics in this educational musical storybook.
Piano, Mezzo Piano, and Mezzo Forte love their little town...but everything changes when a noisy neighbor moves in.
"Forte, you are much too loud," they tell him. But then... SPLAT!
An unexpected turn of events has the dynamics wondering...is Forte what they needed all along?
