DACAMERA presents free Music Encounters at Harris County Libraries
STELLALUNA
Recommended for young learners in K to 2nd grade
The story of Stellaluna comes to life with a performance by a violinist and flutist followed by a sequencing activity.
DACAMERA Music Encounters have been developed as part of an initiative that brings classical music and jazz into classrooms throughout Houston, connecting music with the core curriculum. The mission of the program is to establish creative learning environments that support the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) by promoting collaboration between artists, students and classroom teachers.
