These music circles are

There will be lots of
laughs, shouting,
animal sounds, silliness,
and boisterousness.
Some of the songs will
be classics that they
may know such as
'Down by The Bay' or
'The Lion Sleeps
Tonight.' Mostly,
especially for SK, there
will be international
and original songs. All
songs are meant for
groups to sing and I am
an insistent encourager
of participation
