North Oregon Coast Symphony’s popular Musical Storytime, a hands-on musical activity for preschoolers, will return beginning this month. The program will be held Wednesday, October 15 at 10:30am at the Seaside Library in Seaside.
The free readings, for children ages 3 to 5, will feature a live oboe accompaniment by North Oregon Coast Symphony musician, Laurie Swanson. This month children will hear Do Like a Duck Does by Judy Hindley and Ivan Bates. In this story a mother duck is on a walk with her ducklings when suddenly a large, furry, brown duck joins the group. Drama, rhythm, and sunny images in this book make it a favorite with young children. Swanson will talk more about the instruments she plays, the oboe and English horn, and will demonstrate playing both during this event. After the reading, children will experience playing some different wind instruments.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between The North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library, Seaside Library, and Astoria Library.
