Moses Goes to a Concert, with Dr. Kristin Lyman
Grades K-5
$1 | REGISTER NOW
This February, Spivey Hall at Clayton State University will present two performances featuring percussionist Dr. Kristin Lyman, as she takes students through an auditory journey based on the bookMoses Goes to a Concert. This book, written by Isaac Millman, is the story of a young boy who is hearing impaired as he attends his first symphony performance! Synopsis:Moses and his school friends are deaf, but like most children, they have a lot to say. They communicate in American Sign Language, using visual signs and facial expressions. And even though they can't hear, they can enjoy many activities through their other senses. Today, Moses and his classmates are going to a concert. Their teacher, Mr. Samuels, has two surprises in store for them, to make this particular concert a special event. Moses and his classmates learn about the sounds of instruments through vibration. Students will hear the story, discuss what makes Moses and his friends so special, learn about the science of sound, and might even have the opportunity to perform on some of the instruments! This is a wonderful opportunity for your students to experience and “feel” a live music performance in one of the world’s great concert halls.Performances will take place on Wednesday, February 15 at 9:45 and 11:15 AM. Tickets are only $1 per person and can be reserved by calling the Education Department at (678) 466-4481. We hope you and your students will join us!
