A great turnout at the Kenton County Public Library in Independence, Kentucky for the last Musical Doodles session of the season! The final session featured guest violinists Lucas Braga and Julia Poetain, who performed music by Mazas, de Bériot, and Mozart.

What is “Musical Doodles” ?

Musical Doodles is an interactive experience that encourages active listening and creative thinking. Each musical selection is introduced with a short description of the piece that highlights a certain topic or overarching theme, serving as a drawing prompt. By providing kids with something to listen for, they can begin to develop critical listening skills and enjoy a creative activity while becoming familiar with classical music.

This demonstrates that children have the ability to understand and interpret classical music. With the help of this activity, they can form a connection with classical music, which supports creativity, emotional expression, and learning. Our goal is to help develop not only future music lovers, performers, and creatives, but also curious, creative thinkers who feel empowered to contribute to making the world a better place in their own unique way.
