Serenaded by Strings

 

Our Very Own Violin Concert!

Westside students in Ms. Leah and Ms. Meghan’s class were treated to a special musical demonstration on Monday afternoon. A fellow classmate performed on the violin and wowed his audience with such songs as the “Kangaroo Song” and “Lightly Row”, a folk song.

He demonstrated how the violin is played with a bow and taught the community about its various parts. It was interesting to learn about the construction of this beautiful instrument and exciting when his classmates learned how to pluck the violin’s string. After an encore the children gave a standing ovation and practiced courteous “Bravos”. It was a fun time for all!
