"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
Henry David Thoreau

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
Music and drama classes are energetic and fun. There are plenty of opportunties for the students to participate in singing, playing instruments, dancing and acting. Instruction includes the study of Music Theory (band method), Score Identification and Breakdown, Kodaly-Solfege Hand Signs and Pitches, Classical Music, Composers and Instruments.
The environment is interactive allowing exploration, creation and interpretation of a variety of songs and dramatic scenes. The structure of each lesson is catered to provide the students the opportunity to increase their awareness and comprehension of music and theatrical elements, while expanding their understanding and appreciation of the many ways performing arts can enhance their lives!
