WE CAUGHT THE BEAT THIS SUMMER IN FEBRUARY!
As usual, a fun time was had by all with guest musician storyteller Christopher Kavi Carbone as he offered tips, ideas and encouraging words to help us release our inner artist.
Workshop participants had this to say of yesterday's program:
"Chris was great and introduced me to a lot of music that I did not know and really got me thinking I can do music at the library."
"He gave actual songs & movements we could actually use in a program".
"I was looking for more songs for the toddlers and I found many here."
"I'm going to use some of the shaker songs & fingerplay songs and some of the ideas with the tot time."
