Ten instruments take their parts one by one in a musical performance. When this book begins, the trombone is playing all by itself. But soon a trumpet makes a duet, a French horn a trio, and so on until the entire orchestra is assembled on stage. Written in elegant and rhythmic verse and illustrated with playful and flowing artwork, this unique counting book is the perfect introduction to musical groups.

Lessonn Plan with worksheets
This lesson will include guided instruction and collaboration of groups. Instruction will be modified to meet the needs of all students in the class. This Language Arts lesson also incorporates the arts (music) and mathematics. Students will create a word sort Wall based on the instruments in the story Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin and the order in which they join the orchestra. Scaffolds for English Language Learners and Children with Special Needs may include: Engaging in Grand Discussions about the instruments and the story, reading the story aloud, watching a You Tube Video of the story which plays the sounds of each instrument in the story; students will be paired, if necessary, and students will use visuals and words to help them identify the vocabulary of the story and to further create their word sort.
