Sound and Movement Workshop with Monica Saydah!

post contributed by Jocelyne Adkins, Program Director/Educator

Professional dancer and Beye parent Monica Saydah visited with us again this spring to conduct a sound and movement workshop. Through a variety of movement exercises, Monica had the students thinking about the following: What sort of sounds make you get up and move?  What sounds make you stand still and listen? Can a movement create sound? Can movement inspire sounds? 

The students had so much fun moving and responding to the sounds, beats and rhythms they heard in the musical selections ~ from jazz, classical, rock, pop and even an a cappela piece. Following the movement activity, Monica asked the children to draw what they saw or heard in their favorite musical selection from the workshop. We thank you Monica for such a terrific afternoon and experience!
