(Orlando, FL – October 3, 2007) – The Connect With Music program, originally scheduled to begin on Thursday, October 4, 2007, has been rescheduled. The program will now begin on Thursday, October 25 at 10:00 AM in the Philharmonic’s rehearsal room, located in the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins Street, Suite 300, Orlando. The program is approximately 40 minutes in length. Philharmonic Principal Timpanist Carl Rendek will take part in the program on Thursday, November 1, leading a program in which the children can listen and play rhythm instruments, giving them an in-depth exposure to rhythm. Participants will also enjoy movement activities and rhythm exercises.
Initiated in 2001, Connect With Music is a model for linking generations through music and to music. The program is created and directed by Dr. Mary Palmer, UCF Professor of Music Education as an intergenerational music program for babies from birth to 24 months and their special adults. In six week sessions of forty minutes each, babies explore sounds and sound sources through playing instruments, experience listening to music through movement, begin to match musical pitches through singing and express nursery rhymes in new and exciting ways. The program is designed to increase the child’s attentiveness, stimulate the brain and form new neurological pathways and develop interest in a broad variety of musical styles. This season, the Connect With Music program kicks-off on October 25 and continues with a variety of weekly programs until December 13. For details on the subsequent programs, visit www.marypalmer.org.
The program costs $65 for the six week session. If you would like to participate in the Connect With Music program, visit www.MaryPalmer.org or phone 407-382-1661.
