What I Saw, What I Heard, What I Learned

By: Matthew F.

On November 14, 2001, I went to see the Columbus Symphony Orchestra at the Three Arts Theatre. All of Phenix City Intermediate School went.

When we went, I saw a lot of instruments. I saw a harp, violins, trumpets, and a lot of other instruments. One of the most beautiful instruments was the harp. It was big and golden. I cannot describe all the instruments, but I saw a lot of things.

When I went, I also heard a lot of instruments. The flute sounded nice and the harp, too. But the one I liked the most was the chimes. They sounded very peaceful, though I liked the sounds of all the instruments.

I also learned a lot, like how a composer creates music. (That was really cool.) That was my favorite part, when they did that skit with the fake composer. I learned a lot when we went to the symphony.

All in all, I liked the symphony. It was a very neat experience. And, hey! I had a good time.
