Musical Storytime, a hands-on activity for preschoolers, will be offered Thursday, April 10th at 10:00 in the McTavish Room at the Liberty Theatre.
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 and Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or https://www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.
