Oklahoma City Philharmonic

This award-winning, three-part program for THIRD GRADE serves as an introduction to the orchestra. Participating students from around the Oklahoma City metro will enjoy two classroom visits and a trip to the Civic Center for a performance by the Philharmonic. Each participating teacher receives access to student workbooks and a teacher guide to prepare their students for each component and track their learning progress. Visit components may be scheduled in any order throughout the current school year. This program has a limited capacity and accepts registrations on a first-come, first-serve basis. Additional schools will be added to a waitlist for the current school year.

• WGR Component #1 – A Hands-On, in-school visit with our Instrument Playground allows students to see, touch, and play instruments from each family of the orchestra. A docent from the OKC Orchestra League will accompany to talk about each instrument family and the important role that each family plays in an orchestra.
• WGR Component #2 – A Philharmonic ensemble performs a mini-concert in-school for students. The musicians talk about their instruments and discuss the elements of music, including melody, harmony and rhythm.
• WGR Component #3 – The participating 3rd graders join hundreds of other children for the OKC Philharmonic’s annual YOUTH CONCERTS at the Civic Center, which is a culmination of everything the students have learned from the past two components.
