EMF Explorers Week 2: Monday

We had a great first day with our 6-8 year old EMF Explorers! We began with our singing circle, focused listening, and movement activities. Campers got to hear the story of J.S. Bach and his Goldberg Variations, listen and respond to excerpts from each movement of the piece through color and drawing. Each day we will visit a family of instruments in the orchestra, and in today's rehearsal we were introduced to the string family. Campers got to see and hear the violin, viola, cello, and bass.

Music: Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra”
J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations

Activities: Singing and movement, playing drums

Musical Concepts Introduced: Instrument families, characteristics of various instruments in orchestra, and dynamics

See you in the morning! -Miss Susannah
