Band and Violin Students Visiting Preschool Classroom

Our band and violin students were invited into the Preschool Classroom to demonstrate our instruments.  The children listened for the Bowing (arco) sound and walked with large sliding steps.  When we heard the pizzicato sound we tiptoed around the room.  The brass students taught the preschoolers to ‘buzz the lips’ which is the foundation to our brass sound.  Then we listened for high and low sounds and reached up high and down low for the appropriate sounds.  Our 5th grade students did a great job teaching the oreschoolers.  We also helped the little ones find the similarities and differences between the guitar and violin and between the trumpet and trombone.
