The intellect is sharpened by concentrating deeply for long periods of time, through memorization, and by learning to connect abstract intellectual ideas with the body, experience and creativity.

We take turns improvising solos and melodies while others hold down rhythms and grooves. We learn rhythms from West Africa and around the world. We play bass lines from pop music and jam with Irish dance tunes.
We sing, use movement, write songs and lyrics. Classes are 80% play and 20 % learning and reflection. As skills are developed and refined, the musical theories and concepts that go along with them are introduced and integrated.
The finale of each semester is a music jam of original songs with three to four professional musicians and shared with family and friends.
