SCREECH, SHRIEK, SCRAPE. Noisy Nora wants to learn how to play the violin but her family isn’t so sure that they can endure the terrible sounds when she practices. North Oregon Coast Symphony offers free Musical Storytimes in February where preschoolers can hear You Can Do it, Noisy Nora. This program is a hands-on musical activity. Each reading will feature a live violin accompaniment. Children will hear about Nora and her efforts to master a new skill, especially when a special evening comes along. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the violin and take part in making their own music with provided violins.
The program will be held at 10:30 Monday, February 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita. The last reading will be at 10:30 Wednesday, February 11 at the Seaside Library.
The violins used in this program were purchased through a grant funded by Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank
both organizations for their generosity.
The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library. For more information visit North Oregon Coast Symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org.
