On Tuesday, November 8th, students will go to Northwest Indiana to present a special music showcase to elementary students. This provides VanderCook students hands-on experience as they introduce woodwind, brass, percussion, and string instruments to eager elementary school children. The event is a requirement of a Woodwind Methods course, where VanderCook students learn the tendencies of the woodwind instruments and practical teaching techniques, but really it provides a broader experience in all aspects of teaching music. Professor Ruth Rhodes developed the relationship between VanderCook and Toot n' Doodle and a favorite of our students.
