St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

Instrument Playground Online

Launched in mid-March, this online tool by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra introduces young music lovers to the instruments of the orchestra and the people who play them through videos, images, and activities. The Instrument Playground Online is an extension of the SLSO’s popular instrument playground, held before each Family Concert at Powell Hall.

At-home Activities

The SLSO’s education team worked fluidly to create several home-based learning activities about orchestral music and musicians. This new page on the orchestra’s website presents these activities for families. The SLSO is committed to music education and while students are not in a school building, there are still many opportunities to connect with music.
