Music Art Animals

Each week, students will listen to the composition, learn facts about the animals Saint-Saens depicted, and create animal art. Lions, elephants, turtles, birds, fish, fossils, and a few other surprising animals will be marching through this class. Come and join the musical animal fun! No class 1/20 and 2/17.
