Kid-Friendly Symphony Orchestras

The New York Philharmonic has long been renowned as a first-class way to experience Classical music. But this venue is not just for adults with a wide knowledge of orchestral music. The New York Philharmonic has been making an effort to appeal to the younger generation as well. They understand the importance of instilling a love for the arts at an early age to establish a deep respect for the hard work, dedication, and beauty of this discipline later in life. The New York Philharmonic established a separate website just for kids, where they can play music related games, learn about instruments and composers, make their own instruments, and compose music. As a teacher, I am always looking for new ways to get my students interested in music, and I have personally found that multimedia and websites are easy ways to grab their attention.
