VIDEO: Milltown Students Heading to Carnegie

As part of a year-long curriculum through the school's music department, the fourth graders at will be heading to Carnegie Hall to both sing and play their recorders.

The students have been practicing all year, learning about different kinds of music and rehearsing songs that they will perform with several other schools at Carnegie Hall Wednesday.

According to Milltown music teacher Ashlen Udell, there are six concerts throughout the year through this program, and the hall seats 2,000. She said they expect to fill the whole theater for each concert.

The program, Udell said, is designed for third through fifth graders, and all the fourth graders at Milltown are participating.

"I'm looking forward to seeing when they walk in Carnegie Hall because I tell them all the time, 'you're not going to understand this right now, but when you walk into Carnegie Hall, you're going to look around and say I should have practiced more,'" she said with a smile. "I can't wait to see what they have to say, and then I can't wait to talk to them the week after to ask them what their favorite parts were, what they really enjoyed."
