UMSL music students perform a surprise concert for preschoolers at University Child Development Center.
After a lesson on music, preschoolers at the University Child Development Center received a spontaneous concert from University of Missouri–St. Louis music students.
When students in the Discoverers class returned from their motor skills lesson, they were surprised by a string quartet who were there to perform for the two-and-a-half to 4-year-olds.
The class has been learning about instruments and music over the last few weeks, playing guitars and listening to different types of instruments and music, said Lynn Navin, director of the UCDC.
UMSL students talked about their instruments with students at the center and performed music for the young learners.
The University Child Development Center, located on the first floor of the South Campus Classroom Building on South Campus, serves the children of UMSL faculty, staff and students, as well as those throughout the community. The center provides full- and half-day care for children 6 weeks to 5 years of age.
