Sweet Beats
An Elementary Instrumental Music & Movement Class
Does your child get excited when it’s “music day” at school? If so, this class is for them! Sweet Beats is for elementary students who love to move and play classroom instruments such as xylophones, hand drums, boomwhackers, buckets, and more! Our fabulous teacher, Mrs. Amanda Fitts-Rash, is an experienced music educator who is certified in all 3 levels of Orff Schulwerk instruction. Please visit the Orff Schulwerk website for more details, including videos of Orff Schulwerk students in action.
Students will perform in our culminating concert, "Showcase," in Loudis Recital Hall!
Enrollment is only confirmed, and thus a child’s spot in class is only reserved after both registration AND payment are received. Registration and payment are 2-step processes.
