A B C … Do Re Mi!
May 21, 2010
The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra is excited to share its upcoming Classics for Kids concert on Sunday, May 30 at 2:30 at the Delta Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon.
We’ll be performing “Prairie Alphabet Musical Parade” which was written by Regina composer Elizabeth Raum and inspired by “A Prairie Alphabet.” The book, a best-seller and award winner, was written by Jo Bannatyne-Cugnet and illustrated by Yvette Moore.
There are twenty-six illustrations that depict each letter of the alphabet and apply to farm life in Saskatchewan. As the story begins, the letter A states: “We auction our Aberdeen Angus at Agribition.”
Click on the book cover and put a hold on this title at the Wheatland Regional Library!
Once you read through the book, check out the list of objects at the end that will challenge you to look again and find the things that begin with the featured letter for each letter of the alphabet.
The concert will also feature the song “Do Re Mi” from “The Sound of Music.” Since you must learn your A B Cs before learning to read … likewise, you need to know Do Re Mi with music! See the posting below for a video of this delightful song!
We hope to see you at this great concert on May 30th!
