PTA-sponsored Student Assembly, January 25th, 2018

CULTURE LOOPS
An educational tour of the Middle-East, Latin America and West-Africa

Take a fascinating tour of West-Africa, the Middle-East, and Latin-America without leaving the school. Culture Loopspresents the music from those three regions on authentic instruments that students and staff find toe-tappingly informative.

Students will be guided by award-winning composer/recording artist/teacher Michael Smolens single-handedly creates a whole ensemble, playing and ‘looping’ a half-dozen parts that magically interweave. This is a powerful and inspiring role modeling for students to see a multi-instrumentalist play so many different instruments from different cultures using modern looping technology.

The instruments used are: Senegalese balafon (marimba) and djun-djuns (conga-like drums), Turkish dumbek (goblet-shaped hand drum), Brazilian tamborim (small tambourine), shaker, melodica (small reed keyboard), alto flute, and voice & vocal bass.

admin Event November 28, 2017December 13, 2017

Brookvale PTA is sponsoring a parents-only workshop at our next PTA meeting, Tuesday, December 12th, 6:45pm-8:15pm. Workshop is limited to 30 attendees and reservation is required. Please sign up on Konstella if you wish to attend this workshop. The workshop will take place in P2.

Zinger questions can come out of nowhere. The chances are if parents do not give right amount information, kids will seek it elsewhere. Would you rather prepare you kids first before letting them out in the wild world?

In this workshop, parents will learn how to:

Answer your child’s questions without giving too much or too little information
Make “difficult” conversations comfortable for everyone
Ensure that your kids will come to you with their questions in the future
