Hats off to the New York Philharmonic for their fabulously fun take on musical early childhood education. On their interactive website entitled the "NY Phil Kidzone" kids can compose and share with the "Minuet Mixer," explore the way music can sound on different instruments at the "Orchestra Station," learn about famous composers in the "Composers Gallery," and of course, play lots of musical games.
Teaching Preschool through Elementary age children about orchestral music is vital to our musical communities. Not only does the study of music benefit children by improving their reading and math skills, as studies have shown, listening to, and understanding it can also spark a life long love of the arts.
