Ella encourages children to play rhythm instruments provided by the teacher or homemade. After she sings Put Your Instruments Away, a jazz band introduces the trombone, clarinet, drum, trumpet, etc. Ten songs include Follow the Leader, Let's Listen to the Band, and Harmonica Happiness. "A fabulous first music lesson, Play teaches the basics of rhythm and response and introduces eight instruments." —Entertainment Weekly
