Edgar Road Powell Hall Field Trip

Edgar Road 3rd-5th grade Project Plus students took a field trip to Powell Hall. There, they learned a way to express yourself--music! Students listened to Project Trio along with the symphony. 

 

They heard classical, hip hop, latin, and jazz music. After the visit to Powell, students were able to get a behind the scenes tour of Jazz St. Louis. Students learned about sound and production. It was a great trip!
