After a successful first year, the Del Mar Heights World Music Program will once again be bringing hands-on experience and exploration of a variety of musical traditions to our students this year. We are thrilled to offer unique opportunities to understand musical traditions while developing an awareness of musical practice and theory with our guest musicians.
We begin our Fall session with weekly visits from a student favorite, Señora Reyes Barrios, who will be working with traditional Spanish music and Flamenco dance. She is excited to further develop her work from last year with our young musicians. Baila!
With our upper grade students, we are pleased to offer a chance to work with Mr. Kourosh Taghavi, a masterful string-musician with instruments from the middle-east. His experience with children is extensive and his unique perspective will allow our students to engage with a tradition that is quite foreign to the western ear. He will be working on both hands-on experience and music fundamentals with our students.
As always, thanks to the PTA for providing these wonderful experiences to our students
