A New Year Begins in Lower School Music!

We're starting a new year in the Lower School music/drama program.   I'm looking forward to seeing all the students and getting to sing, dance, play and act with them!  This year our composer group studies will explore some American Jazz greats: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker.  Below are some photos of types of activities we will be doing to start the year.  Welcome back to school!
