On Friday, our music teacher, Mr. Lohrer, was able to bring our representative from Kidder Music to Maude as the capstone to 4th grade's "Band, Orchestra, and Instrument Families" unit. They got to see live demonstrations of many different instruments, and every student got to try at least one instrument from each family. Many thanks to Matt from Kidder Music for helping make this experience happen. Thanks also to Mr. Schwab, Mrs. Davis, and Mr. Barber for providing extra support for the event, and Officer Nicholson for the pictures. Even Mr. Durr got in on the fun! We hope to make this a yearly tradition!
