Making Music at FES

A blast from the past! Students (some current and some former are caught having fun in music class! Above, K. and J. do a "noisy newspaper notes" project while studying the letter N in kindergarten.
M. and K. use skittles to practice placing notes on the treble staff in fourth grade.

Last year's second graders took part in the first ever Instrument Petting Zoo, sponsored by Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. What a wonderful hands-on opportunity and supplement to their instruments of the orchestra mega-unit! I plan to utilize this resource for years to come!
Above: D. gives the trumpet a try.

D. digs the low brass!



T. learns the finer points of bowing a cello.
