I just came back from Broad Rock Elementary where we have a songwriting program led by local musician Maurice Jackson of Photosynthesizers. Assisting Maurice are Josh Scolaro (from this summer’s drumming program at Charity Family Life) and Qasarah Bey (who is new to ART 180, but brings with her experience and insight). The 5th graders have participated in various ART 180 programs since 2nd Grade through the I have a Dream Foundation’s Program in Richmond.
Here is a clip of Ahmir Moore performing for his classmates.
