The Orchestra Moves

This week second though fourth grade participated in a Texarkana Symphony Orchestra concert. This concert was in conjunction with Carnegie Hall called, The Orchestra Moves. Students could play the recorder, dance, play percussion instruments, or sing. We chose to sing and got to participate in four selections, “Come to Play (theme for the program), “The Blue Danube,” “Toreador from the opera Carmen,” and “Un, Dos, Tres.” The kids had a blast and got to be exposed to classical music in a fun and entertaining way. We tried to take pictures but the Perot was a little dark.

Pre-K and Kinder finished their study of Pitch Hill with a hands on activity. They placed their Solfegé friends on their very own music staff.
