Composers and their music come alive in magical assembly. (Local Association News).(Brief Article)
Imagine 550 captivated elementary students staring in awe as they watch Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Gershwin suddenly appear and share their wonderful music. This is the setting of Edmonds Music Teachers Association's (EMTA) elementary school assembly performance of "Magic of Music." Through a magical book belonging to her grandfather, a young girl meets these composers and their music as they are brought forward in time, in full costume, into her grandpa's music room.
Students of EMTA members, posing as the famous composers' students, each performs a piece by one of the composers. The selected pieces are brief and grab the attention of the young audiences. The music teacher from each school has a small role at the beginning, and dressed as Darth Vader, spars with the young girl at the end, as the students learn about composer John Williams. The program concludes with a question-and-answer forum to afford the audience an opportunity to interact with the composers and the performers.
A printed program is sent home with each child featuring pictures and synopses of the composers they saw, information about EMTA, a listening list with local public library call numbers, a word-find activity, a listing of the performers and pieces played, actors' names, an acknowledgement of the sponsors and a listing of people involved behind the scenes.
