Well targeted towards young children. ### 5/5 — Great music app *2015-12-20, version 1.0.6* Our 3 year old loves this app, and it's been one of the best musical introductions that we've found for her. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2015-03-10* This is the only app I have ever reviewed. My 20 month old boy is obsessed with this wonderful app. He can now identify ALL the instruments of the orchestra (except the viola). He literally spends hours with it. There is so much TLC that must have gone into creating this app. So many well chosen music clips, illustrations, and sound samples. So many little details and extra hidden features. I really can't say enough about this app. It's an accomplishment the developers should be very proud of. I realize one might suspect I'm not a real reviewer. I am. I promise. You can google me. Noam Dworman ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2014-11-16, version 1.0.6* What fun! My 4- yr old just loves this app. There are some instruments that she visits again and again, and some that she loves dancing to. She's getting good at conducting too! Fun and educational - great! ### 5/5 — Sound is back! *2014-11-11, version 1.0.3* Sound is back after we downloaded new system update. This app is wonderful. Kids can already name the instruments and sometimes recognise them in a piece of a classical music! ### 5/5 — Introduction for all ages *2013-10-12, version 1.0.1* Although this app has been designed so that 4 year olds can enjoy it, I think it would appeal to anyone interested in exploring the orchestra. It has dozens of pertinent musical examples, is well designed and organised. The information is accurate and easy to comprehend. There is plenty here to satisfy adult curiosity, too. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — This app is amazing! *2013-07-11* I am a music teacher and I am always finding new ways to engage the children in learning about the orchestra instruments and classical music. This app told a wonderful story, explained with great detail every instrument in the orchestra, as well as played sound clips of each so strumming individually, in its instrument family and as a whole in the orchestra. The children were engaged through out the entire lesson plus there are extra activities where the kids could take a Listening quiz! I will definitely recommend! And share with my son when he's older. Thanks! ### 3/5 — My First Ochestra *2012-11-20, version 1.0* It is very good except that the last instrument in a family doesn't have any sound,if this can be fixed it will be excellent. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2012-10-29, version 1.0* A very informative app with lots of information and music, easy to understand and so much fun! The troll takes you through a journey of the orchestra, trying out different instruments on the way and telling you all about them. Nearly everything seems to be interactive so the text can be read to you, the instruments all play music and the characters do different things. Lots of fun illustrations and facts make this a delightful app for all ages. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-10-26, version 1.0* What a wonderful app! Fantastic introduction to Classical Music. Informative and fun. ## Frequently asked questions about My First Orchestra App HD ### What is My First Orchestra App HD?
