The Music Van recently visited the OVS Lower Campus to inspire elementary students to pursue a musical instrument. Andy Radford, the Ojai Youth Symphony director, and volunteers introduced students in grades 3, 4 and 5 to various instruments, including trumpet, cello, flute, harp, clarinet and more. They learned how to make vibrations, not only with those instruments but also with their own vocal chords. Students got to see how wonderful it was to try new things and many of the students talked about how much they enjoyed playing these musical instruments — three students even decided to pursue private music lessons because of how much fun and enjoyment they had trying out the instruments.
