The 10th annual Instrument Petting Zoo was recently held at the
elementary school. The yearly event brings together members of the high
school’s instrumental ensembles, their musical instruments and third
graders for a hands-on opportunity to become familiar with all the
instruments of the band, orchestra and chorus.
Students were able to hear the instruments performed,
ask questions about each instrument as well as experience the excitement
of holding many of them for the first time. Before the end of the
school year, the third graders will select the instrument they would
like to begin to learn when they enter fourth grade in September.
A special thanks to music teachers Ms. Christine
Creighton, Mr. Mark Abbonizio and Dr. Vanessa Salzman for organizing
this educational and exciting event.
