OUTREACH

STUDENT COMMENTS:

• I loved learning about the traditional instruments used and hearing them played in pieces I’ve never heard, as well as ones that I have.

• It was interesting to hear certain instruments that I don't generally hear, living in Minnesota. Through that, I learned about Asian culture and their instruments.

• My mother actually plays the erhu and both me and her thought it was super cool to see other people doing the same thing - as not many people even know what the erhu is. The bamboo flute instrument was really awesome, I personally hadn't heard of it before. I think It's really cool to show the school culture from places that aren't ours.

• I loved learning about their friendship and learning more about the instruments and the history behind them.

COMMENTS FROM FACULTY:

• Some of our students had never been to a concert, so it was really great to offer that experience. I loved how their variety of music and instrument choices were really engaging and kept interest. The between-song stories were really sweet and informative. Many of our students were really moved.

• The concert was really enjoyable and the musicians were very personable. For students that are not familiar with classical music, this was a fun and educational introduction. For students studying music in our school, I think this was a great way to broaden their understanding of music.
