A Musical Day in Vienna: Part 2

Yes, after Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, or Exodus room, it is no doubt that one of the most exciting parts of our visit in the House of Music was the Sonosphere. This interactive exhibit allowed students to explore the science of sound. Through hands-on experiments, they learned about sound waves, pitch, and tone. Kind of fantastic blend of science and music and sparking curiosity.

The Year 7 students were looking forward to the 4th floor were the Virtual Conductor was exhibited. This unique experience allowed students to step into the shoes of a conductor, leading the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in a virtual reality setting. Sometimes it was challenging, giving them a taste of the responsibilities and skills required to conduct an orchestra. The virtual musicians were playing the tempo the students were showing.

Free exploration time was the best! We allowed the students some free time to explore the museum at their own pace. It was wonderful to see them revisit their favorite exhibits and discover new ones, fully immersing themselves in the experience.

Have you heard about CLONGS?

Reseting is important!!

The House of Music was in the city center, so we went to look around and some of the students studying German said some facts about St. Stephen’s Cathedral:

The ice cream at nearby Zanoni and Zanoni place was so good that I forgot to take pictures there. But everybody made sure to have two scoopes at least! Well I also bught the Mozart’s chocolate for my dear colleagues in Bratislava.

I think our trip to the House of Music in Vienna was a success. It provided our Year 7 students with a unique opportunity to explore the rich history and science of music in an interactive and engaging way. Such experiences are invaluable in enriching their education and broadening their horizons.

Thank you for reading about our musical Vieneese adventure. I look forward to even more exciting educational trips in the future!
