It was a fun day in music class today for Kindergarten - 3rd Grades!
Mr. Tapp was our "music mystery guest" for the day demonstrating his cello. We learned many interesting facts about the cello, listened to Mr. Tapp play some classical music as well as Pirates of the Caribbean, sang our Christmas songs with cello accompaniment, and had a chance to play!
Thanks to Mr. Tapp for sharing his time with us.
St. Ignatius Rocks!!
