Science and Sound
Overview
Bring TSO musicians to your school for a hands-on exploration of the science behind music.
Perfect for curious minds, kids (and adults!) love our Science and Sound sessions. Two musicians from the TSO visit your school to explore the science of sound.
Aligned to the primary school science curriculum, these interactive concerts help to teach students how different instruments work. Students get to make predictions based on what they learn, helping to spark curiosity about music making and the science that underpins it.
Suitable for
Kindergarten through to Year 6
'To see some of my students who usually struggle to maintain focus absolutely glued to the performance and keen to ask questions throughout was just lovely. The presentation leads very well into their science focus on sound as part of the Australian curriculum for science.'
Music teacher, Somerset Tasmania
