EMFkids: Thursday, Week 1

It's been another full morning for our EMF kids today!

Some of the highlights:

We continued working on ensemble singing with two different parts at once.

We put our rain sticks together, and tomorrow we'll use them to experiment with making weather sounds.

As usual we visited an orchestra rehearsal, and today the string family showed us all its members. We saw and heard a violin, viola, cello, and double bass.  Does anyone remember the full name of the cello?

Diana Tsaliovich, a violinist on EMF faculty came to visit our class.  She played several excerpts from different pieces and the children shared what the sound reminded them of (silver, a rainbow, people dancing, and a girl laughing were a few ideas).

Tomorrow we will have camp at the Music Academy of NC.  (You'll find a link to the address below.) Campers will follow the regular schedule, beginning at 9 am.  Parents are invited to come at 11:30 to hear a bit more about the Eastern Music Festival and Music Academy of NC, as well as a short demonstration of what we have learned this week. I'll look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
