Dear Educators, We are eager for you and your students to enjoy the Everett Symphony’s performance of Surprise! on the 30th of October. This is a very exciting event for students of all ages. For many, this will be the first classical music experience they will have the opportunity to enjoy. Giving students the tools necessary to truly grasp the artistic and intellectual beauty of music is extremely important for development. We have included downloadable material that will help your students begin their journey into the realm of classical music. There is so much to be learned from music. Presenting it to your students as a mystery will help to illustrate the importance of listening closely. Inside this packet, we ask your students to use detective skills to help us solve a “musical crime”. You have also received some information on the proper manners for orchestral events and a small list of instruments your students will see and hear. Please use this material at your discretion and feel free to modify it to fit your teaching style or to fit how your students learn best. Enjoy these activities. If you have any questions or need more study material, please contact the Everett Symphony administration office at 425-258-1605 or info@everettsymphony.org Concert Manners
