What teachers are saying about

“What Do You Hear?”

‘What Do You Hear’ offers a great lesson – including learning [musical concepts], instrument identification, and movement for the students. It encompasses every aspect I would include in my own lessons.

My students and I really appreciated the work put into this video series, and I feel it was very meaningful to our students seeing our local Auburn Symphony deliver the content.

I loved ‘What Do You Hear’.
The subjects (timbre, rhythm, dynamics, etc.) were explained so well, and the overall quality of the video production is fantastic!
