SUMMARY:Boston Court Pasadena: Click\, Clack\, Moosic with Collective
DESCRIPTION:This delightful music programming for ages 3-7 is a live musical storytime event featuring the Click Clack Moo! book by Doreen Cronin set to original music by Helix Collective resident composer\, Phil Popham. Come meet musicians\, explore an instrument petting zoo\, and hear Click Clack Moo come to life! \nABOUT THE PROJECT \nAn educational concert featuring the Click Clack Moo! book set to original music by Helix Collective resident composer\, Phil Popham. This original musical work set to the popular book Click Clack Moo by Doreen Cronin was commissioned by the West Michigan Symphony. This popular concert for children (ages 3 – 7) has been performed by that symphony for ten years running with enormous success. \nHelix Collective will bring this delightful educational concert to children in the Pasadena area with a performance in the Spring of 2024. \nThis high-quality music programming for young children is a live musical-story time event. Children will meet musicians\, learn about basic music concepts\, interact with the narrator throughout the story and hear live music performed\, specifically written for the Click Clack Moosic program. \nThe program introduces one instrument from each instrument family (brass\, string\, piano\, percussion\, woodwind). Each character is represented by an instrument so the young audience can get to know each instrument through the character’s personality. Each character has a featured section to highlight what that instrument does best. This updated version of the classic programs like Peter and the Wolf covers more diverse styles of music including salza\, a ho down\, waltz\, and blues. \nThrough the story\, children learn about working together\, collective action\, and how one small voice can make a big difference. \n  \nPRE-CONCERT LEARNING PROGRAM \nOur primary goal with this first concert in the series is to engage young learners with an introduction to the instruments and learning about how music expresses emotion. The instrument petting zoo before the performance allows each child to see and touch instruments up close and interact with the musicians that make music through each instrument. \nAt the start of the program\, the narrator and conductor will lead the children through a series of exercises where they learn to recognize and name emotions through the tone of voice and word emphasis they hear. They then each get to try this themselves using their own voice. Then the program brings this concept to storytelling through music. \nWe will engage with young audiences in deep learning with the musical story. Young attendees will gain a firm understanding of the different instrument families and be able to recognize the nine instruments by ear. They will understand the role of the conductor and how different types of music express different moods and moments in the character’s journey. They will discover how music can be used to tell a story\, celebrate\, express emotions\, and bring people (or farm animals) together. \nABOUT THE KEY PROJECT PARTICIPANT  \nPhil Popham\, Music Director \nClick Clack Moosic Music Director Phil Popham is a co-founder of Helix Collective. He composed the music for and conducted the world premieres of his Click\, Clack\, Moosic children’s concerts with the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra.

Dr. Popham holds graduate degrees in both Composition and Performance with studies in Music Industry and Production Music from the University of Southern California and the Peabody Conservatory of Music. \nSarah Robinson\, Co-founder\, Administrator\, and Flutist \nSarah Robinson is the flutist and co-founder of Helix Collective. She is the author of Clubbing for Classical Musicians\, a guide to presenting music in alternative venues which has been called “enlightening\, instructional\, and inspiring.” As a flutist she has recorded scores for television\, video games\, commercials\, and several albums.
