Students went to Hardestyl Library last Tuesday to attend a musical presentation put on my the Mt.Vernon Musical Ambassador program. Below are some of the students descriptions of the trip:
I learned that Mount Vernon is George Washington's house. I also learned that George Washington loved to dance. A German flute is harder to play than a regular flute. The German flute plays sideways and doesn't have a mouth piece. A harpsicord doesn't play high or low. I liked the field trip very much. - Chris
On today's field trip we learned about music from George Washington's time period. Back in the Civil War the soldiers used drums to communicate with each other. We learned about the guitar, the piano, the flute, and the drums they had back then. We got to hear recycled tunes and how the National Anthem got its tune. -Erin
I learned that guitars used to be smaller, had lace in the circle, and had ten strings. I also learned that Mt. Vernon was the name of George Washington's estate. They had a recorder they called the English flute. -Katie
The field trip was very interesting. They had played some of George Washington's favorite songs that were composed in his time. One of the songs they played was Yankee Doodle! We learned that a song had a lot of different versions. -Maggie
