Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Today the Year Fives and Sixes travelled to the Town Hall to listen to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform. We heard a range of different pieces of music, found out the different types of instruments that make up an orchestra and were entertained by an animated M.C. I, myself really enjoyed it. What did you think?

Today (14th August) the grade 5 and 6s went to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It was at the Town Hall.
There was all different types of instruments including Bass guitar, piccolo ,violin and percussion. There was lots of schools there. A girl from a different school got to be the conductor for one song.

Today we went to see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Play at the Horsham Town Hall. It was pretty good. None of the music sounded familiar to me. They showed us what each instrument sounded like.

On Friday we went to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Horsham Town Hall. They played I think 7 songs and they told us about the different types of musical instruments, groups and conducting. I really enjoyed it and it was lucky we got in cheaper. I think they were really great!
