Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our Musician of the Month, Gustav Holst! 
This year each month, we will be celebrating students' birthdays along with a birthday of a famous musician born the same month! Last year, we really focused on the cultures represented by the musicians. This year, I still plan to look at the musicians' cultures but I also plan to focus on musicians who are also composers, meaning they write their own music. I hope every student either individually or as a class creates their own music this year! After all, creativity is what the arts do best!

Check out how Gustav Holst used his imagination and knowledge of astronomy and Greek mythology to make the different planets come to life!
