EMFkids: Thursday, week 2

We had another exciting morning at EMFkids today.  Our musical style of the day was the Romantic Period, and we listened to a fancy virtuoso piece by Franz Liszt.  Later in the morning we visited the woodwind section of the orchestra, then returned to finish making our own French horns.  This was a popular activity, although many campers had a difficult time making a sound on their horns.  It's much harder than the recorders we've been playing all week!

Other highlights of the day include learning to read some rhythmic notation and adding another level of complexity to our ensemble pieces.  Today we got four different parts going with instruments and voices!

Tomorrow is our last morning of camp, and we'd like to thank all the parents and families for sharing your children with us.  Remember we'll be meeting at the Music Academy at our regular time (8:45/9am), but parents are invited to return at 11:30 to join us for the last half hour of camp.
Hope you all have had a great week, and we look forward to seeing you all in the morning.
