My Project

All of our students want to learn to dance and perform! Our classes can't have a performance right now because of the noise level in the PA system we have. In class, the speaker will provide the opportunity for the kids to perform in the school yard comfortably. This will help them with the basic idea of steady beat in the songs, and it will also help to build the self-esteem that they need. As they progress, they will be able to do team and independent work to build musicianship and to practice socialization.
