Giraffes Can’t Dance! This delightful story by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees is the focus of the North Oregon Coast Symphony’s May Musical Storytime outreach program. This is a free, hands-on activity for preschoolers. The program will be held at 10:00am Monday, May 19th at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita. The outreach program, for children ages 2 to 5, will feature live accompaniment by flute, percussion, and brass players.
Giraffes Can’t Dance is a joyful tale about finding your own rhythm, inspiration, and confidence. With vibrant illustrations and captivating rhythm, children will be swaying, stomping, and smiling from start to finish.
After the reading each musician will explain a bit more about their respective instrument and demonstrate playing them. Then children will have the opportunity to play some different instruments.
These events are planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library and Astoria
Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at
