Description

This one week course will engage students in making music through singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Using various fairy tales and folk tales, students will bring stories to life as they sing and dance to various songs from around the world.  Drumming and percussion instruments will help bring together the sound scape and challenge the students to make their own sound effects to enhance the stories.
