Appropriate for grades K-8.  Older music lovers are welcome! Younger children are welcome with a parent.

 Traditional American songs, which include folk songs from around the world, were once known by every schoolchild.  Although they are foundational to an understanding of American literature, culture and history, our public schools dropped almost all of them in the 1970s, along with the fun and historical understanding they include.

In this class we will learn traditional songs from American history and the history/stories behind them.  We will do a lot of singing, clapping and moving with great music while learning about American History.   Carolyn majored in Music History and has been a song leader for several decades.  End your week with music, fun and history!

COST:  $100 per semester (ask about family discounts)

How many Bible verses do you and your children have memorized?  It’s easy when it’s put to music!  Join us for a family sing-a-long at EIE.  Carolyn taught Sunday School music for many years and has a large collection of songs that teach Bible verses.  All ages are welcome.

Class will begin as soon as we have at least 3-4 people.signed up.
