Each year’s curriculum includes three 30-minute programs performed for the children throughout the school year in the comfort of their familiar classroom environment. Each program builds upon previous programs in the series to introduce young children to musical instruments and provide basic concepts of how music works. Through games and movement, children learn how to distinguish high sounds from low sounds, develop a feel for beat & rhythm, and listen for specific details in music. Each year’s schedule also includes a storytelling program during which the children experience the powerful marriage of story with music https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a947a137604136f02ef8261/5af9a071-9118-4342-bece-4e9432f650f0/SHS+Preschool+Nora.jpg Pre-School - First Year Series Example Introduction to Musical Instruments & Elements Introduces instruments & basic music concepts: slow and fast, low and high, soft and loud Families of Instruments Discusses how brass, string, woodwind, and percussion instruments function Story with Music Presents classic storytelling performed through music https://www.schoolhousesymphony.org/elementary daily 0.75 2026-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a947a137604136f02ef8261/a3e78bd8-3a15-44c9-9435-259ce2db135b/594679897_1430512395741487_3701354456177769963_n.jpg Elementary School - Summary For elementary school students, School House Symphony offers a 16-part series presented to students over a span of four years. Each school is visited four times during each school year, and each program builds on the musical concepts presented in the previous program. During the first year of programs, children are introduced to musical instruments, are taught to understand instrument families and how they work, and learn about the science of musical vibrations. Later programs include a tour of folk music from around the world, concepts of musical composition and notation, and a tour through Cincinnati’s unique musical heritage. The Elementary programs are sequential and work best if the same student population experiences all four performances each school year. However, single performances may also be scheduled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a947a137604136f02ef8261/108bf2e2-b9b7-41d7-8bc6-8b7b3e5aaa2e/closer+pic+SHS.jpg Elementary School - First Year Series Example Introduction to the Instruments Introduces the instrument families and how they work American Music I Discusses American music from the time of the Pilgrims through the ragtime era of Scott Joplin Elements of Music Defines and explores the musical building blocks of rhythm, harmony, and melody Dance Music Presents dance music and dance styles from the Renaissance through the 20th century and explores the development of the symphony from a dance form into concert music https://www.schoolhousesymphony.org/juniorhigh daily 0.75 2026-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a947a137604136f02ef8261/1f9abe8c-eb68-4ebc-a23b-2f75f5c41673/Holy+Cross+SHS.jpg Junior High - Summary School House Symphony programs for junior high students are a continuation of the programs designed for elementary school students.
