The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra with Music and Emotions!


This week, we were incredibly lucky to be a part of an online workshop with Chris from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Joined by violinist, Liz and flautist, Johanna, we explored a world of sound and emotion, even creating our own music using body percussion! 

Through the story of 'Murfitt the Mouse', we practiced matching our facial expressions and movements to the 'happy,' 'sad,' and 'angry' tones of the instruments. Inspired by Murfitt’s journey, we got busy writing our own stories about him!


We encourage you to listen to some music at home with your tamaiti and talk about the emotions it stirs up!
