Music Makers – Grades K-3Schedule to be announced.
Using authentic xylophones and percussion instruments, students will learn to keep a beat, to sing on pitch while accompanying themselves and others, to make up rhythms and melodies of their own, all while experiencing the fun of playing music in a group. They will learn chants, poems and songs from all different cultures. The xylophones are arranged so that there are no "wrong" notes and they always make a pleasing sound. This class serves as an excellent introduction to private music lessons.
