2024 summer, the Interlake Melodies had the opportunity of working with over 200 kids who attended Bellevue school district Elementary Summer School Program. Members visited Sherwood Elementary 3 times a week over the span of a month, creating engaging performances, music theory games, and inspiring and teaching sessions. We introduced the kids to the world of music, allowing students to try a range of instruments, including viola, violin, cello, clarinet, french horn, piano, and flute. We hope that our work has created aspiring musicians who now hold a deeper appreciation and excitement for all the different instruments and styles of music. Special thanks to the Bellevue School District staff for helping us organize and execute these sessions!
