Yrs 5-6 Virtual Incursion

Mara! Band performed for Yrs K-5 as featured artists within the Musica Viva concert series last week, taking place within our regular Choral and Music Instrumental lesson times across Week 6. The concert was themed Music in My Suitcase’and explored instruments and songs from all around the world. We sang and danced together, learnt words and songs in new languages and were amazed at the quality of the interactive program that was able to be afforded us even via the Zoom platform. We also loved discussing and celebrating the diversity that is within our own classrooms at Redlands. How fortunate we are to be in such an international context. Now to get that catchy song out of our heads “One Candle, Two Candles…”!
