If you go to choir concerts in Orange County then you know that you learn a little bit more about the music each time you go. You start to recognize the music or the composers and it all starts to feel familiar. Next time you hear a piece you can confidently say Beethoven, Vivaldi or Mozart, but you can also just enjoy the music. The thing is you do not have to be able to identify any kind of classical music, although it is nice to slowly learn. It is nice though to appreciate classical music, and choral music, and know that it can be really soothing, inspiring, relaxing and just quite beautiful.
Threads on classical music
If you go to choir concerts or you are planning to go to choir concerts, do yourself one easy favor. If you are on Instagram or Twitter, follow your local orchestra or your national orchestra, or both! I follow the national orchestra and I love their tweets. They do not only post about the concerts that they are having or putting on, but they post little threads of music so that it becomes recognizable to you. They post the beginning or the middle of a piece of music and tell you who the composer is and what the music is learned. The threads are such fun, they tell you everything and it is a great way to learn. My kids love these threads too, I share them with them, and we are all appreciating classical music and choir music.
I must say that introducing children to classical music and choral music early on is a good thing to do. Kids can sing, they can partake, they can sit back and they can listen and appreciate. Take them with you next time you attend choir concerts in Orange County. Your kids will amaze you.
