Students Learn About Composing Music

James fourth graders Lizza Wiggins and Mackenzie Carnell talk with guest composer Robert Tindle.

Students at Eisenhower, Horace Mann, James, Liberty, and Wilson Elementary Schools participated in an Artist in Residence program earlier this week. The artist was Robert Tindle, a composer. Ottumwa was part of a two-week residency where he will teach and speak with hundreds of students and adults throughout southern Iowa.

The event was sponsored the Southeast Iowa Symphony.
