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.
