Infants through School AgeWe were so pleased to have Anna Garza visit with her saxophone today! Anna, a local band student and former JN alumni, is our cook Miss Kathy's daughter. We very much enjoyed the selection of saxophone music that she played for us which included some jazz standards like "Pink Panther" and also some childhood favorites like "On Top Of Spaghetti" and "Supercalifragilistic"!
Along with listening to the saxophone and learning about its parts, we also watched this neat Youtube video about how Selmer saxophones are made!
The main ideas we focused on today are:
-Saxophone is a woodwind with a reed
-Sound comes out of the "bell" (the bell shaped sound hole at the bottom
-Saxophones make sound through vibration
-Saxophones are made of metal
Also check out a few of our highlight videos below. Thank you so much for sharing your saxophone and talents with us, Anna! =)
