Success!! The 2nd Grade field trip to hear the CSO was absolutely, positively terrific! Everyone had a great time, and the students loved getting to see all of the instruments of the orchestra and the very beautiful Symphony Center. The performance was wonderful too!

Tell us what you thought of the trip!

Check out some pictures of our trip!

See the pages from our concert's program attached at the bottom of the page, titled "CSO Program- Mother Goose and More- November 20, 2009".

Please check out the "Links" section of this website to find lots of interactive sites that will help your child and reinforce the concepts that are covered in class. Besides the Internet, I highly recommend taking a trip to the library to check out all sorts of great books about music, and also the many CDs that are available. There are tons of great resources and music right at your fingertips!

Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions on what your child is learning in music, or if you wish to discuss your child's progress in class.
