Children's Concerts: Stories Through Music

Each year more than 20,000 Idaho children attend our annual Children's Concerts in January.  For many, this is their first live orchestra concert.  This years program compares composing music to writing a story.  Fourth and fifth graders in public school, private school, and home-school groups are invited to attend at no cost.  Contact Alison Baldwin for more information.

Musical Kids Classes:

This course is organized into weekly interactive classes for preschool-aged children and runs in sequence from September to June.  Rhythm, melody, movement, reading musical notation, instruments and singing activities encourage development of the voice, ear, and physical coordination.  Taught by Kristin Sample (B.A. Music Education and Piano Performance,) these classes are based on the award-winning Musik Garten curriculum for early childhood.
