The Orchestra Sings - An Interactive Youth Concert
For grades 3-5
Melody is one of the universal elements of music. This highly interactive program gives students the opportunity to explore what makes a good melody from the inside out. Teachers are given a comprehensive curriculum covering basic recorder and choral techniques that students will use as they play along with the orchestra in a culminating concert. The curriculum also covers important general music concepts, using the concert repertoire as case studies. Repertoire includes “Ode to Joy,” “Simple Gifts,” Copland's “I Bought Me a Cat,” Dvorak’s New World Symphony, Stravinsky’s Firebird, and two original songs written just for this program. IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation in the Teacher Training on August 30th is MANDATORY in order to attend "The Orchestra Sings."
