KidsNotes is a one-hour program that begins with the reading of a book such as, Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin or The Remarkable Farkle McBride, which introduces the different families of instruments in an engaging and fun way. Next, depending on the age of the participants, students engage in games that explore musical concepts like pitch, rhythm, and timbre.
