ASK THE STUDENTS! 

Presenter Deborah Stehlik interviewed students in Grades K-5 regarding topics they would like to sing, play and move to within the music classroom.  Deborah took the students ideas and created music lessons that correlate with the New York State Arts Standards and classroom music objectives.  Topics range from animals to food to music styles to composition.   Get ready for an action filled day filled with easy to use lessons.  Please bring your recorder and wear comfortable clothes/shoes.
