Docent Programs

Most music education has been cut from the elementary schools due to budget restraints. The Steinway Society is excited to announce programs that provide music appreciation classes with an initial focus on 1st thru 5th grade children: We invite you to take part of this wonderful program.

No musical experience necessary ...
just a love of music!

The Mr. McSymphony™ classes consist of five presentations:

The Basics of an Orchestra

The Steinway of Riverside County has developed a audio/visual presentation entitled "The Basics of an Orchestra," geared to 4th and 5th grade level.

This 40 minute presentation covers the four instrument
families and the major instruments within each family. The students watch videos of 22 instruments being played individually and as an orchestra.

The students also learn about the function of the conductor and the standard seating arrangement for
the instruments on a concert stage. This program is
taught by docents with musical experience.
