Today at EMFkids we continued to learn about the different style periods in Western music, and today we learned about the Classical period. Everyone got to hear music by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, and we also acted out the story of Mr. Haydn and his Surprise Symphony.
The brass section introduced us to each of their instruments: we saw and heard music from the French horns, trumpets, trombones, bass trombone, and tuba. Later we got to use our own instruments outside while we practiced on the recorder and explored various percussion instruments.
Each day we have added a level of complexity to the musical activities for the campers, and they have handled the challenges well. They have learned about and participated in two and three part singing, following a conductor, and practiced playing a variety of instruments.
We have exciting plans for musical and art projects, and we'll look forward to seeing you then.
