Yo-Yo MaClassical MusicianSeries: Exceptional AsiansBy DetailsDetails While most people know Yo-Yo Ma as the most famous cellist in the world, they may not know that he actually started out as a violin player—until the four-year-old told his parents he wanted to play a big instrument. Much more than a uniquely talented classical musician, Ma has written an Academy Award-winning film score, played for eight presidents, and appeared on The Simpsons. Readers will enjoy learning about this dynamic man through simple text and vibrant color photos. A Words to Know section familiarizes readers with new vocabulary, and quotes from Ma reflect his beliefs on a range of topics from teachers to multiculturalism.Publication Date: 08/01/2016Copyright: 2016Pages: 24Trim Size: 7 1/8 x 8 1/2Grade Level: 3–5Dewey: 787.4092FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9780766078376$23.60$17.70eBook9780766078161$23.60$17.70 Loading… Other books in Exceptional Asians 1 Loading… Loading… eBook: 9780766078161 List Price: $23.60 Discount Price: $17.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9780766078376 List Price: $23.60 Discount Price: $17.70 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
