Teddy Bear Series
The Teddy Bear Series introduces preschool & kindergarten students (ages 3-7) to the orchestra through story, movement, and live music. Since its launch in 2015, I have been lucky to serve as the Series’ narrator, collaborating with the author in development of performance scripts and age-appropriate movements.
We have performed over 50 times in 15 venues throughout Indiana, Washington, D.C., serving nearly 10,000 young children and their families. Now, in response to our inability to perform live, we are creating virtual performances. Visit the link below to see our newest performance in action.
