Chelsea Caldie visits 3rd Grade Classes

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.
