This Sunday we will be celebrating education at Good Shepherd Church. Sunday School and our Preschool join forces to honor all of our amazing teachers. Included in this celebration will be music offered by the children of the Good Shepherd School under the direction of Karen Silva.  Not only will they be singing, but also performing instrumental music using percussion instruments, Orff instruments, and Boomwhackers. (You'll just have to come see and hear for yourself what a Boomwhacker is!)

Karen has done a great job with our dayschool kids. More than just having them match pitch and learn to keep a steady beat, she also introduces them to music history, musical form, musical instruments, musical genres - things that will help them appreciate music as they grow older. You'll be amazed at what these pre-school and kindergarten children can do!
