We are so fortunate every year to have a brass quintet (or sometimes a percussion duo, or a string quartet...) to come visit the elementary campus!
These musicians do an amazing job of introducing the students to the brass family of instruments, explaining how the sounds are made, why some sounds are higher pitched than others and more!
The musicians showed us how long a trombone is (IF you could untangle all the pipes!)
Then we saw how long a tuba is and we noticed the longer the pipes, the lower the sound!
The group played a "theme and variation" for us today - the same melody pattern in lots of different rhythms and sounds!
Can you name the song that they are using for the "theme" of all these variations?

Thanks to Ms. Miller for arranging this educational concert for us, and thank you especially to the KSO Brass Quintet for coming to our school today!
