Celebrate the 25th season of LinkUP! with The Orchestra Rocks! for students in grades three through five. Through hands-on classroom learning and the fully interactive concert, students join a collective community of performers and creators as they explore time, rhythm, and groove in a range of exciting orchestral music. Printed curriculum materials approach repertoire experientially through the composer's lens, incorporating skills-based work, creative work, and performing selections on recorder, violin, voice, and body percussion.
