Story Orchestra: I Can Play Swan Lake

Part story, part music lesson and part invitation to play, it lets children press real keys and learn famous melodies from Swan Lake all by themselves. No nagging, no practice charts, no "not now darling" required. Just the simple joy of making beautiful music.
