Sandy Keifer’s highly engaging “one performer/one classroom” approach gives young students an intimate exploration of music making. Sandy guides students through an exploration of the cello’s construction, and demonstrates how music and words connect by telling a story using the cello’s special sound effects. The words of the story are then eliminated and only the sound effects remain, allowing children to trace the story by listening. The program engages students to write their own story as a group, which Sandy then performs on the cello to the students’ delight. During this interactive program, students use finger math, writing, and drawing skills. Sandy Kiefer is currently the Suzuki cello teacher at Longy School of Music and professor of music at the University of Rhode Island.
Take your students on a chronological musical and cultural tour from the pre-Inca time to the post Spanish conquest era. Sumaj Chasquis brings together Bolivian, Indian, and Mestizo musicians to share the enchanting culture and music of the Bolivian Andean highlands. Students learn about the traditions and legends of Bolivia through songs sung in three languages (Aymara, Quechua, and Spanish) and performed on native Bolivian instruments. | Young
