On Wednesday morning, Mineral Springs Middle students were having enriching experiences in other classrooms as well.
Kim Bounds is the Band, Piano and Music Director at
Mineral Springs, and, thanks
to a grant from The Arts Council of Winston-Salem, Karl Kassner, who plays with
the Winston-Salem Symphony, comes to the school to work with her students who
play trumpet and trombone.
In the band room, Kassner was
working with half a dozen students. It’s a great experience for the students,
Bounds said.
“The
students get to work with someone that plays their instrument
professionally. Along with improving their playing ability, he introduces
them to the idea that they could do this as a profession, if they wanted to put
in the work to do so.”
Tony
Frye is the Technology Teacher at Mineral Springs. In his classroom, students
were working on such projects as building bridges and Lego robots.
