We sing before we speak and rhythm in every heartbeat and every step; we are all musicians!
For many cultures, participating in song, rhythm and dance are part of everyday life. The automation and specialization of Western culture has silenced this natural human process. It is my goal to ignite the inner musician and encourage each student to continue to develop musical skills throughout their life. Every student in grades 6 through 8 will receive 10 weeks of music per year. Obviously it takes much more music study than this to become proficient on an instrument or gain any depth of knowledge on the subject. These courses are designed to offer explorations in different types of instruments and ensembles as well as develop strategies for lifelong learning of music.
