Another great activity for Avery Blue is provided by the organization Inside the Orchestra, which has a special event called “Tiny Tots”. With each Tiny Tots concert, the kids and parents sit on the floor of a large room while the orchestra is setup in a large circle around them. The show includes kid-friendly commentary from the conductor with statements like “This song sounds very warm and cozy, like your favorite blanket”, or “This song sounds dark and angry like when you are mad.” There are also dancers and a very special opera singer named Figuero!
AB with the sign – she is getting so used to me saying “go stand by that (whatever thing) and smile!”
After the band’s performance the kids are able to go up and talk to each musician, touch the instruments, and learn more about music. AB really loves it and was especially drawn to the piano and tuba.
She asked to play the piano the entire time – a new hobby on the horizon??
Really liking the buttons on the tuba!
