Guest Tubist Visits First Graders

The Williamsport Symphony Orchestra recently sponsored an educational outreach opportunity for two first grade classes at Schick.  Mrs. Worthington’s  and Ms. Knittle’s class were treated to a live performance, demonstration, and music lesson by tuba player, Mr. Ronald Bishop.   Mr. Bishop is a retired tubist with the Cleveland Orchestra.   On Monday, November 15th, Mr. Bishop instructed the students during their music classes teaching a lesson on concepts such as patterns, syllables, sound principles, and how he plays his tuba!  The students thoroughly enjoyed the class.
