Imaa students presented throatsinging and drumming that they learned this year. Thanks to awesome teachers: Mia, Minnie and Taiga.
The students and teachers of the Imaa afterschool music program presented a fun recital to families in May. We enjoyed music and food together. Here is the fiddle song “Liza Jane”.
Here is a little video compilation of some of our different groups learning Debbie’s song “It’s so Muddy Buddy”.
We had so much fun with this tune.
Super proud of our Imaa teaching team and student fiddlers practising together last week with Debbie Miles!
The Imaa music program enjoyed a special week with fiddle instructor, Debbie Miles Violin! Debbie taught fiddle 3 times daily with the wonderful “Imaa” youth (seen here drum dancing) and mentored our budding teen fiddle instructors.
The children enjoyed learning Debbie’s fiddle tune “It’s So Muddy Buddy”! Debbie also gave many lively violin presentations at Nakasuk (and Joamie) schools and also taught the Saturday fiddle groups.
A busy music week filled with fiddle fun and sunny skies!
This small group fiddle session worked on a tune called “Boil’em Cabbages”. We are so proud of these students for trying hard!
