Explorers Week 1: Monday

Our first week of Explorers is off to a great start!  Each morning this week we will visit EMF orchestras in their rehearsals to experience different instruments and their instrument families.  We will listen and respond to masterpiece works by great classical composers, and learn about and explore different musical concepts. 

Music: Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra”

Orchestra Visit: The Brass Family: trumpet, horn, tuba, trombone, and bass trombone

Activities: Singing and movement, playing the water glasses

Concepts: Introduction to instrument families, large and small instrument sounds, dynamics (loud and soft sounds)

Highlights (according to our campers):
My favorite part of today was…
·         Singing like a tuba
·         Seeing the French horn
·         Going to the music place [orchestra rehearsal]

·         Snack time outside
