On this record let's pretend we're in school, not a regular school but a musical school. The students are not regular students either, for this is a school conducted by Mister Owl, and two of his students are Bertie Birdbrain and Penelope Pinfeathers who will sing the songs along with the rest of the members of the class. As you will hear, this is a school that is really fun! First you will hear and learn about the instruments of the orchestra, and then you will learn about melody and how a song is born. School should always be like this!
