This program introduces students to all the instruments of the orchestra through a “hands on” approach using colorful, acrylic, one dimensional, models while recorded, as well artist musicians demonstrate instruments sounds.

Meet the String Family
Through demonstration and hands-on activity, the Quapaw Quartet will introduce students to the string family. The students will have a chance to watch the quartet play and discuss their instruments, then try their own hands on a violin, a viola or a cello with the musicians!
Music Across America
Start a journey across America with the Quapaw Quartet as they play music from Arkansas and beyond! What images come to mind when you think of America? Cowboys? Or big cities? Or a rodeo? See how American music reflects different facets of American culture.
This Is Your Brain on Music
How does music make you feel? See and draw colors and shapes, feel how music can change your heartbeat, and interpret the music through motions. This interactive demo from the Rockefeller Quartet asks students to act out and think about the physical and emotional effects different types of music have on them.
Music at the Movies
The Rockefeller Quartet brings the movies to life! Think of your favorite scene from your favorite movie. Can you remember the music? Movie music works with what you see onscreen to make movies more exciting, relevant and enjoyable. Students work with the quartet to figure out which music fits with what scenes.
