Merrily We Draw Along: Cartoons in Concert November 14, 2009

Discover the harmonious ways in which cartoons and classical music work together in this family workshop. Music educator Jennifer Greene will help children learn how the actions and emotions of cartoon characters match the rhythms and modes of their celebrated soundtracks through a selection of Looney Tunes and other animated classics. Fran Krause, Animation Professor, Mercy College, will then teach children how to produce their own cartoon storyboards while listening to a piece of classical music, creating drawings that capture the movement and mood of the melodies they hear.
