Each week, children will meet a different instrument from the orchestra, including the cello, saxophone, harp, and many more! They'll get the chance to discover each one up close and personal. Additionally, we'll incorporate puppets, small instruments, parachute play, singing, dancing, and more. It's the perfect combination of learning and fun!

This program is also an excellent way to prepare young children to play a specific instrument (ex: piano), while learning the basics of music such as beats, notes, and early music theory.
