What makes music on your head? 

A headband!

Each day as students enter, they get to taste a new flavor of music. Sometimes they sample a new style or new instrument...sometimes it's a...calculator?!  Check out these awesome flavors for September. I can't wait for October! 

We have been experiencing music of all different styles before class starts every day. Click on the pictures below to see what we have enjoyed so far. 

Make your own instruments over summer break. I love you guys. Take care!
