This class of girls gets along extremely well, and there’s quite a bit of “peer helping” in this class. This is especially true with the music games which reinforce concepts such as pitch and rhythm. If one student doesn’t understand how a game works, another student will help out by demonstrating. Today our teachers were [...]

Today our teachers were Mr. Scott Joplin and Mr. Villa-Lobas.

Mr. Joplin wrote many piano pieces which [...]
