Classical Music on the Main Line: Kids Perform for Kids
The Nelly Berman School of Music invites families with children in the
community to come and observe our weekly music performance class series
on Saturday afternoons. These interactive classes lead by Nelly Berman
School faculty will present our hard-working beginners as well as our
award-winning students, ages 5-17, practicing performing in front of an
audience. A member of the faculty will lead the class, providing
feedback and moderating the students' comments, suggestions and
reactions.
The class on September 28th will be our string
performance class, where students will perform on violin, viola, and
cello as well as a violin and piano duet. These performance classes are a
unique opportunity for the children
in the audience to learn about different instruments and get
inspired by listening to their peers perform a whole new world of music.
This week, some of the pieces you will hear for strings and piano:
- a Vivaldi Violin Concerto, played by a 9-year-old violinist
- a Mozart violin and piano sonata, played by 8 and 9-year-old siblings
- a Scriabin piano prelude, played by a 9-year-old pianist
- Russian pieces played by a 5-year-old beginning piano student
- ...and many more!
