The Charlie Horse Music Pizza Experience is a fun hands-on introduction to music for children 3 to 8. During the story, children are introduced to instruments from all four instrument families, and hear and see instruments they rarely get to see close up, including several world percussion instruments. Musical concepts such as sound production and high and low are incorporated into the lesson. We also have available the MENC Teacher's Guide and other related Charlie Horse materials. Pecknel Music is proud to have been on the National Outreach Committee that created the Charlie Horse Music Pizza Experience , and to have hosted the National Pilot Experience in October of 1997.
