Make Way for Music – Week 9: Ensemble

This Week…   Making music together is powerful! Our final two lessons together will focus on music ensembles, two or more playing or singing together. Cultures all around the world value the experience of ensemble, in all kinds of forms—drumming circles, marching bands, folk sing-a-longs, and symphony orchestras each offering their own unique musical experience.

Lesson 5: Pathways!
