Volunteers helped kick off Symphonic Adventures, an in-school music program for third grade classrooms, by teaching our professionally designed lesson plans to eager students in the 4J, Bethel, and Springfield school districts. Below you'll see our fabulous volunteer, Diane Livermore, teaching rhythm at Howard Elementary.
Each lesson plan is followed by a performance by a Eugene Symphony musician or chamber group. This month's featured musician is percussionist Brian Scott, who is featured in a video at the beginning and end of each lesson. We have received overwhelmingly positive responses about Brian and the students feel like they're meeting a celebrity!
Link Up, a program designed by Carnegie Hall, also began this past week with Annalisa Morton and Kristen Halay teaching third through fifth graders in 4J and Springfield afterschool programs. In collaboration with Willamalane Parks and Recreation Center and 4J's BEST program, students in Chavez, River Road, Thurston, and Page Elementary Schools are learning how to play recorder and will perform on-stage with the Eugene Symphony for our November 13 & 14 youth concerts. What an opportunity!
