Making Folk Music K-3: In this class students will join Karl Shadley in learning songs from the rich tradition of American and international folk music. The class will be built on the assumption that everyone can make music. The class will include group singing, song writing, the making and playing of simple traditional instruments and gaining an appreciation for the roots of folk music. By the end of the class the students will have built their own instruments, written their own songs to familiar tunes, built a personal song book and gain comfort in both group and individual performance. They will also learn the tradition that folk music has played in bring hope and resilience to those on the margins.
