Kazanetti 4 Kids

KAZANETTI 4 KIDS is a 30-minute program specifically aimed at elementary school children (K-5). Where limited audience space is a factor, multiple performances are given so a school’s entire student body may see the presentation over the course of a morning or afternoon. Many programs are original in content and can be tailored to incorporate a ‘non-musical’ subject. As much as possible, Kazanetti consults with teachers and/or school officials to develop a program that directly supports the school’s or classroom’s curriculum. Topics include:

• Introduction to the String Quartet
  An introduction to the string quartet, its instruments and techniques, followed by a general discussion of how and where music is used and heard in our daily lives
• Peter & the Werewolf
  A Halloween version of Peter & the Wolf that features selected wind instruments and introduces the use of musical themes as characters
• The Great American Time Machine
  Take a trip back in time to meet American figures of note and hear the patriotic music inspired by their deeds
• Follow the Drinking Gourd
  Hidden in the lyrics of a simple folk song are directions to the escape route known as the Underground Railroad
• Irish Music & Dance
  Learn different types of Irish tunes and dances, and watch the teachers try a jig!
• This is Opera?!
  Monsters, cowboys, and superheroes?! How did they get here?
