African music touches people in different ways. Some weep with longing and deep understanding. Others can’t stop spinning, dancing, bouncing and smiling. Still others watch in amazement, unable to process the joy and energy coming from the instruments and the people playing them. Our African instructors believe that if you are touched by music, there is a deep, unexplainable reason and connection that you have to it. You must follow this path or risk upsetting the spirit world. They believe that those of us who have been touched by this music the spirits have chosen. We may not understand the reasons, but we must honor the spirits by follow the path laid in front of us. For many years, our directors questioned the purpose of their own interest and passion. They examined the issues of race, culture and heritage. They spoke to many people about this love they felt in their very being for the music that seemed as if it had chosen them! After a time, they stopped questioning why they love a music and culture from so far away and have given in to the joy and peace it brings. They feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to share it with you, your family and the world! Why Music? • Why Music for My Child? • Enrollment • Policies |
