We were so lucky to have Evelyn and Richard come as community helpers to our school!!
These MUSICIANS were awesome! They had SO MANY different instruments for the kids to see and even try out!
Percussion instruments:
String instruments:
 |
| This is called a quatro |
 |
| A banjo |
 |
| A double bass! |
And even a woodwind instrument!
 |
| This is an Oboe |
Our musicians taught us about Staccato, Allegro, Piano, and Forte!
 |
The kids got to keep a beat while Evelyn sang and Richard played:
We discovered what an amazing singing voice Evelyn has!! So much talent!
We couldn't believe how big this double bass was!! It was huge compared to the kids (and adults!), and they each got a turn to try making a sound!
We practiced using our question words and asked our guests about how they learned to play the instruments and why they enjoyed playing them.
We learned that Richard is incredibly talented too- teaching himself how to play pretty much ANY instrument!!
It was AWESOME hearing him play!

What an awesome experience we had today!! It was so cool to have them come and share their talents with us!
