Nuthin' But Rhythm - (For All Ages) We will be exploring new ways of ensemble playing through the use of various percussion instruments in a traditional "call and response" setting. Enjoy this group class as we improvise with both unison and complex rhythms - a class that is sure to wake you up! Music reading is not required.
Theater: (for all ages, flute and non-flute students)
Join us for some silly theatrical fun. In this class we will focus on group agreement, group creation, team support and encouragement all by way of fun, non-competitive group game work. Students will use their bodies, voices and endless imagination in a YES environment to create short scenes of the own group creation. All the students need to bring is their own wonderful enthusiasm. And in true Suzuki style, parents are welcomed to join in the fun.
Art – (For ages 4-6, 7-10, and 11 and up) The "Art" of Music reminds us that there are many visual artists who use music to create their work. Picasso painted and sculpted instruments. We will use paint, sculpture and collage to create our own music! We will have fun exploring and getting messy!
