The Arts Corner: A new musical experience

The Brookstone Fine Arts Program welcomed Sue Schmidt, from JAARS, to the school on April 9^th, where she gave a presentation entitled, “Musical instruments from around the world.”

There were about 30 instruments on display from Africa, Asia and South America, which Ms. Schmidt explained how they should be played and for what purpose they might be used. The students also watched video clips of people from the instruments’ countries of origin playing them.

We thank Sue Schmidt for coming to Brookstone Schools for this fascinating presentation and experience for our students! 

At the end of the presentation the students gathered in circles to pass the instruments and play them. They had a blast! We were thrilled that the students got this experience!!
