Instrument Adventures

A popular offering at BKCM, students discover music from various parts of the world and explore a range of instruments from the winds, brass, strings and percussion families. Students learn how instruments work through hands-on demonstrations and guest musicians. Students begin to explore the notes of the piano keyboard and in the spring semester, the ukulele, learning basic chords to accompany themselves in song. Singing, moving and drumming to global music is part of each weekly meeting.
