More dancing and drumming still learning with our whole bodies as well as the fingers and hands.  We will progress into Suzuki Volume Two, supplementing with Dalcroze, theory pages, many, many music games. This year the class will also enjoy many different kinds of keyboard duets, classical, jazz, boogie, etc.

  

       Our Guitar Skills continue to be improve and advance on to more exciting classical and folk pieces, even guitar ensemble music.
