Information about the2016/17 Education Concert ProgramDear Friends and Colleagues,Welcome to the 2016/17 North Carolina Symphony teacher workbook! Thank you to the authors of this year’s materials,who contributed their expertise and countless hours of their time in order to make these curriculum materials such avaluable resource to teachers statewide: Barina Bailey, Lindsay Byers, Brenda Kris and Laura Martin of the Wake CountyPublic Schools.This year’s concert program has been designed to serve as inspiration for your students as many attend their first liveorchestra concert and continue to develop a lifelong love of music. Works by Massenet, Grieg, Strauss, Haydn, Beethoven,Copland and Woody Guthrie will be featured as students learn “What Makes Music Music?” Of special note is amovement of a symphony composed by Florence Price, the first African-American woman to be recognized as asymphonic composer and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra (the Chicago Symphony in 1933).The resources in the following pages have been crafted to help teach the concepts of texture, dynamics, tempo, form,rhythm and melody as they relate to these pieces and are in alignment with the North Carolina Essential Standards.Each year, the North Carolina Symphony strives to educate, engage, and inspire students who will one day lead thecultural development of North Carolina. In order to ensure that we are continually reaching the highest standards, we askthat you and your students provide us with feedback. Please take a moment to locate the (fun!) evaluation on page 68.Have your students fill it out, and either mail or scan/email it back so that we can continue to improve our programs andcontinue to meet the needs of you and your students.Thank you for all that you do to enrich the lives of students across North Carolina.Sincerely,Sarah BaronDirector of Education, North Carolina SymphonyTeacher WorkshopPlaying on RecordersThe best way to prepare for your concert is to attend theTeacher Workshop each August.

Please contact Sarah Baron, Directorof Education, at sbaron@ncsymphony.org or919.789.5461 or ask whoever is coordinating yourconcert trip to do so. Performing groups will be seated ina special section and acknowledged from the stage, so itis critical that we know you are preparing to play.

Any groups performing on recorders will do so beforethe full orchestra plays “This Land.” This opportunity is open to other instruments such asviolins, Orff instruments, Boomwhackers, etc. Please remind your students, whether they areperforming or not, to be courteous and respectful ofother students’ performances at their concert.“This Land”Contact the North Carolina Symphony Education DepartmentSarah Baron3700 Glenwood Ave., Suite 130Director of EducationRaleigh, NC 27612North Carolina Symphony919.789.5461 Office919.781.6066 Faxsbaron@ncsymphony.orgRecordings of the Education Concert ProgramRecordings of the pieces heard on the Education Concert Program will be available for CD purchase onthe North Carolina Symphony Education website: www.ncsymphony.org/educationprograms2 NORTH CAROLINA SYMPHONYAt your concert, the conductor will ask everyone to standand sing “This Land” with the orchestra.
