The After School Club - Music class!

So much of life out in the Middle East for me is doing things that I don't really feel  confident about. Part of that this semester was teaching a Music class to 10 elementary girls! I had a solid foundation in music theory growing up (thanks to good old Suzuki method and my Korean violin teacher!) so I was able to do some basic things. We also learned how to play a few songs on the recorder!

Doing something like this is much easier out here as the expectations are much lower than in the US. There students and parents expect lots of technology, color photocopies or things that just aren't available out here.



One of the other classes offered was origami and it was amazed at what they could do!!
