Take a creative break!  Join musician, storyteller and teacher, Stephen Day, to jump into the world of telling stories through music.  Stephen will introduce students to well-known “story-songs.” Through, listening, discussion and co-creation activities, students will learn how music weaves with words to create scenes and story, and plant seeds for their own story songs.  Prepare for a lively hour of musical and poetic enrichment, in community with your fellow students.  All levels of experience welcome!
