Here's a link to a news story on the BBC about the Youth Orchestra and its' fame and the far-reaching effects of this kind of program.

Oopsy Daisy!

Last week, several students were missing from our usually rambunctious Wednesday morning Kindermusik Imagine That! Class, and the 3 girls who were in class that day had a blast doing all the circle dances they knew... Ring around the rosy, Looby-Loo and of course, Oopsy Daisy!
