Participate in Our Educational Outreach Program

The Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville serves its community and beyond with an educational outreach program. We have taught hundreds of children to better understand the connection between music and visual art. It is our hope to share the joy of music as we ensure all concerts are free and family friendly.

  • Students will be introduced to vocabulary words pertaining to art and music composition including: tempo, rhythm, texture and chords. They will learn the science behind art and music by discussing light waves and sound waves.

    Through a painting demonstration that focuses on the use of tools, the students will be introduced to several painting techniques.

    Finally, the students will paint with tempera paints while listening to a recording of a musical composition the orchestra will be performing at their next concert. The teachers, students, and parents/guardians are invited and encouraged to attend the free, family-friendly orchestra concerts and experience a live performance.

    Student artwork will be displayed (with parental/guardian permission) at the upcoming concert and then returned the following week to their school.
