Soundbridge

Elena's favorite thing at Soundbridge was trying all the different instruments.


Auntie's friend Susan was really nice about bringing out different instruments than what were on display, like this drum and the french horn.
This was Mommy's favorite, the timpani drum. There is a gong, wood block, and triangle on the wall right next to this drum - it was an entire percussion ensemble!
This piano was a hit because you could dance on it. It's sound was a little off though... It was like stepping on puppy squeaky toys rather than a piano...
This organ had buttons to change the sounds. Instead of just making piano sounds, it could sound like jazz, guitar, or string instruments. Elena had fun experimenting.
Elena said this was her favorite.
The french horn was heavy! Susan helped hold it and gave a little lesson on how to get sound to come out - purse those lips Elena!
Don't worry, Susan was cleaning the instrument mouthpieces like a maniac!
An oboe.
The trombone. Elena was able to make sounds with all the instruments - go E!
