Explorando el otoño: una clase de música para la temporada de otoño

Is your learner excited about all the wonderful things that come with the Autumn season? Join us for a one-time music class where we'll celebrate the changing leaves, blowing wind, and so much more! Using our voices and bodies, we will sing, play, and move to a variety of Autumn-themed songs.

All ability levels and personal instruments are welcome! 🥁
As a music teacher, I observe mastery of a skill by watching and listening. 👀👂🏼
Microphones will remain on as much as possible in this class! 🎤
