We had a visiting musician perform for 3rd grade classes this week. Chelsea played pieces for students on her viola da gamba and string bass. The students are also reading a biography of Yo Yo Ma in their reading classrooms this week. Ask your child what they learned about string instruments- ie. the differences between the viola da gamba, the bass, guitar and cello. Ask them what surprised them about the performance. Look up videos of Yo Yo Ma- he plays in all kinds of genres- classical, blue-grass, and modern etc. They also received a voucher for 2 free tickets to the next orchestra performance. Check your child's take home folder for more information.
