Briarcliff’s Youngest Musicians Get a Taste of High School Music

From Syntax: Todd Elementary School’s fifth-grade band and orchestra members in Briarcliff Manor were treated to a special performance featuring some of the high school’s musicians.

The visit marked the National Association for Music Education’s Music in Our Schools Month and gave the soon-to- be middle school students a preview of what music education in the middle and high school is like.

“This was a way for the Todd students to hear what they can possibly sound like if they stick with their chosen instrument through high school,” said middle and high school orchestra director Michael Fraioli.

Todd students were impressed with the high school musicians and were eager to ask them questions about their instruments, how often they practice and their favorite songs to perform.
