The Michigan Philharmonic CLASSical Music Outreach is a unique music program designed to introduce 3^rd and 4^th grade students to classical music and the various instruments of the orchestra.

Developed in collaboration with teachers to complement standard elementary curricula, the CLASSical Music Outreach has the following goals and objectives:

• Supplement and enhance school music programs
• Integrate music into the Science and Language Arts Curricula
• Give students the experience of live performances with professional musicians
• Hear classical music students might recognize by great composers
• Educate students about composers and music
• Demonstrate the four instrument families of the orchestra
• Learn about musical composition by working with professional classical music composers in the classroom

CLASSical Music Outreach consists of three programs designed specifically for 3^rd and 4^th grade curricula.  Though intended to be a series, the programs may be implemented separately.
