Strings Performers Visit Third Grade

Each year Mr. Booardman and a few of his strings players come to show our class what it is like to be a strings musician at Montello. Starting in 4th grade, families can sign up for their children to be a part of the strings ensemble. You will learn more about this next year but there are instruments up for grabs in a lottery based system and there are also opportunities to rent and buy your own instruments. This year to girls from the Spruce pod, Erin and Taylor came by to play us some tunes. 

My third graders were very excited about the presentation and wanted very much to start playing their own violins right away! We got to listen to "Pepperoni Pizza", "Twinkle, Twinkle" and even "We Will Rock You"! These two girls were very talented musicians and it was a pleasure to watch them perform. I can't wait until next year to see if some of my third graders come back to play for my new class!
