Early Childhood Family Education’s (ECFE) March Musical Madness was held Monday night at Highland Elementary. A children’s interactive concert was performed by 5th grade orchestra students and Pop Strings under the direction of Crookston Public Schools Orchestra Director Lori Carlson. Children experienced the sights and sounds of orchestra instruments as well as participated in sing-a-longs, rhythm, and movement activities. Following the concert, ECFE children and families were able to make a homemade rainbow shaker instrument to take home. Exposing children to music at a young age ignites all areas of development, including intellectual, social emotional, motor, language and overall literacy. In addition to development, music also brings us joy!
