Bravo, Angus! Bravo, Children!

Recently, Angus MacMouse grabbed his baton, donned his tuxedo, and came with me to Lynn, Massachusetts, where we met some amazing children at an after school reading and literacy enrichment program called CLASS (Centerboard Literacy and Scholastic Support).  The children had been reading Angus MacMouse Brings Down the House and the program director asked me to come and visit.

Angus had to come, too, of course, and he had a great time showing the children (K-3) how to conduct.  Together we all conducted the Overture to Carmen, which is a wonderful, lively piece of music.  The children really enjoyed feeling and expressing the rhythms and emotions in the overture.  Everybody had a great time conducting, and Angus and I loved meeting some new friends.  (I wish I could show you their happy faces!)
