In this assembly, students will see and hear harps from multiple world cultures. Everywhere harps are found, they not only make magical sounds, they also tell stories, spark imaginations, carry history from one generation to another, and teach universal concepts in music, math, and science. During the assembly students listen to harp music, hear harp stories, sing, try vocabulary in acoustical science, solve math problems, and ask questions. Holly plays multiple harps, weaves in fun facts and surprises, and answers questions about her adventures in harp life! You can book a whole day of assemblies to serve different age groups or different buildings in your district. [If you are booking Holly’s other program of Hands-On Harps (see the separate Hands-On Harps page), an assembly is included for free.]
