Making Music: Science Lessons Get Creative

This week, a small ensemble with the education outreach program of Colorado Symphony visited Graland to teach a lesson on “The Music of Life.” Using instruments like the viola, violin, cello and clarinet, several musicians helped students discover the wonders of the natural world including the life cycle and the metamorphosis of butterflies.

Band teacher Dan Hazlett organized the assembly as a way to bring professional musicians onto campus and tie into Lower School learning in science class. The ensemble also led an assembly with Grade 6 on the history of music, demonstrating several musical eras such as classical, romantic and contemporary. GO play!
