Ken Tedeschi, a member of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, visited Pagels Elementary the other day to share his trumpet and introduce students to the types of musical instruments they can explore next year at Carrigan. He also read Ben’s Trumpet to the students! The kids loved both the story and his musical talent. Thank you, Ken!🎶🎺📖
