Charlotte Symphony Lollipops Concert This Weekend!

The Charlotte Symphony puts on some fantastic kids concerts each year.  Make plans to go see them perform the Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra this weekend!  If you go early at 10:00 your child can play the real orchestra instruments, participate in drum circles, and design their own instruments before the concert!  These concerts are a fantastic way to teach your children about music.


Does a bassoon sound like a baboon? Can a trombone moan or a kettledrum hum? Introduce children to the instruments of the orchestra through Benjamin Britten’s classic, A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, then hear those instruments strut their stuff as they twist and shout to the tunes of The Beatles.





At Journey Montessori we have been listening to a new character in Peter and the Wolf each week and discussing what family each instrument belongs to.  So far we know that Peter is played by the string family, the bird is played by the flute, the duck by the oboe, and the cat by the clarinet which are all part of the woodwind family.


On May 5th The Charlotte Symphony will be playing Peter and the Wolf for their final Lollipops concert of the season!  I encourage you to take your children to the performance this weekend and the one in May!  My kids have gone since they were tiny and they LOVE the concerts!
