Who says you need lessons to start making music? With The Story Orchestra: I Can Play: Swan Lake, every child can be the star of the show. Discover the enchanting world of Swan Lake in this interactive musical storybook - just press the keys to play Tchaikovsky's spellbinding score!

The Story Orchestra: I Can Play: Swan Lake invites children to step into the story and make the music themselves - no lessons needed, just a sense of fun. With a built-in keyboard that sounds just like a piano and colour-coded notes on every page, children can play along as they follow the scenes from Tchaikovsky's magical ballet.

Using a simple one-finger method, budding musicians can learn 8 short, memorable melodies from Swan Lake, building confidence as they go. With a clear colour and letter-coded system, even the youngest players can follow along independently. And when they're ready, there's space to get creative and compose their own tunes using the full 14-key piano.

This interactive musical book brings the world of classical music to life in a way that's playful, imaginative and completely child-led. With storytelling at its heart, The Story Orchestra: I Can Play: Swan Lake is the perfect first piano book for children who want to explore sound, story and creativity all in one.
