Free Student Workshop Winner Announced!
|
|
Congratulations to Sarah Lentz!
Sarah Lentz, a kindergarten teacher at
Barrows Elementary School in Reading, has won
a free workshop for her class. Classical
Indian Dancer, Tara
Ahmed, performed her Taal
Tales program at Barrows this winter
for K-1 students. Sarah was entered into the
workshop drawing after she submitted a YA
performance evaluation following the
performance.
Teacher feedback provided through our
performance evaluation helps us to maintain
the quality and relevance of our programming.
A second drawing to win a student workshop
will be held on July 5th.
Workshops offer students the opportunity to
work closely with the teaching artists they
saw perform on stage. Activities focus on
select concepts presented during the assembly
program.
Please encourage teachers to complete and
send in performance evaluations for a chance
to win a free workshop!

perform their YA
program, String
Fever, at 99.5

the ensemble's 3rd year participating in the
festival which is held at Symphony Hall.
String Fever engages children in a musical
journey entwined with melodies and harmonies
demonstrating how music connects with various
subject matters. String Fever explores music
as a means of expression and imagination with
pieces such as Vivaldi's Four Seasons,
Copland's Rodeo, Tchaikovsky's Arabian Dance,
