The ‘science of strings’ results in beautiful music at Elda Elementary

By Richard O Jones | Thursday, January 26, 2012, 02:40 PM

Elda Elementary’s second and third graders are learning about instruments in the string family, according to Principal Deborah Johnsen.

The students are learning to play the dulcimer as they explore the science of stringed instruments. Brenden Combs and Alex Schuler are sharing a dulcimer purchased with funds from the Elda PTO. Students learn how different sounds are produced through vibration and the length of the strings as they strum and pluck the instrument. Stacy Smith, Elda’s music teacher, is thankful to the PTO for making purchases that support students having hands-on experiences with music.
