Meet the Conductor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're closing out our orchestra series with the one person who doesn't play a single instrument, and yet somehow holds the whole thing together. Last episode I left you with a riddle — one more part of the orchestra we hadn't covered yet, something that isn't an instrument family at all. If you guessed the conductor, you were right. Here's what trips almost everyone up: out of every person on that stage, sometimes eighty or ninety or a hundred musicians, the conductor is the only one who makes z
Meet the Percussion Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're wrapping up our orchestra series with the loudest, most colorful family of all — percussion. Over the last few episodes, we've built an orchestra together one family at a time. We met the strings, then the woodwinds, then the brass. This week we're adding the fourth and final family, and I saved a fun one for last. Here's the thing about percussion — it's not one special way of making sound, like bowing or breathing or buzzing. It's any instrument you play by hitting it, shaking it, scrapi
Meet the Brass Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we're getting to know the brass family — the loud, bright, fun-loving cousins of the orchestra. (And yes, I'm a little biased here, since my daughter plays trumpet.

Meet the Woodwind Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Meet the Woodwind Family We're kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast, and I could not be more excited about it. Over the next few episodes, we're getting to know all four families of the orchestra — strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. ( We already spent time with the strings a while back, if you want to catch up first.) Today it's the woodwinds' turn. I think this family has some of the most colorful, personality-packed voices in the whole orchestra. In this episode, your kids wil
Folk Music of the Philippines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We made it to the final stop on this summer's Around the World with Busy Kids Love Music tour — and what a destination to end on. The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia, home to over 110 million people speaking more than 180 languages and dialects. Its folk music is not one tradition — it is many, layered on top of each other over thousands of years: ancient bronze gong ensembles from the highlands and the southern islands, rice harvest chants recognized b
