Testimonial
"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."
Description
Students experience the excitement of an American musical form that changed the world. The Cats play more than 20 dynamic songs from the 1940’s to the 70’s, leading to an understanding of our shared history, geography, and values. Instrument demonstrations introduce the physics of sound: for example, learning to create low and high notes. The connections between different genres (blues, soul, folk, Motown) and the heroes who created them (Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Woody Guthrie, Aretha Franklin) help us understand who we are today. We encourage lots of student participation and we all get exercise by combining dancing and spelling!
