Katie & Sue's Excellent Adventure Part 5



Next, Katie has composition class and works with Vermont composer Erik Nielson. She is composing a piece for the piano based on a major minor chord structure that she created. Perhaps, when it is finished, I can post it her for you to listen to.

After a lunch break, (we brown bag it under a tree) there are mini-recitals for 1/2 an hour, and then we are off to Taiko Drumming. I don't have many pictures of the class, as I joined in too! Taiko Drumming is from Japan and is highly choreographed, steeped with customs and traditions, and very challenging, yet really fun. Here, at the end of class, students were allowed to be "drum heads.
Then comes piano master class, and then piano 4-hands. Katie and I then head off back to our campground and hike, swim, or take a nap!
