On Monday,
February 9th, students
from Year 6 to Year 9 had the opportunity to
listen live, here at school, to
a group of musical instruments representing the orchestra, played by
professional musicians. They
described their instruments,
explained their functioning and structure,
performed their sound, and
answered the students' questions. The role of the orchestra conductor was also introduced, allowing the students to better understand their role and function.
The performers played
both classical and modern pieces, allowing for a varied approach. The educational goal was to offer the students
firsthand knowledge of musical instruments, to
inspire them through discussion and listening, and to show them firsthand the
emotion that ensemble music can
inspire. Finally, the students were able to sing along with the orchestra!
