Meet the Composer
  In this monthly group class, younger students can explore other aspects of music by listening to and learning about a composer's music and discovering his style. They make their own journals using colors, words and collage. Students also get a chance to play their new pieces for each other. In this way we can encourage them and keep them self-motivated.

Students can also benefit from other teachers' feedback and enjoy the experience of a small performance.
