April's Composer of the Month

 This month we met a man who was not only an acclaimed American composer, pianist, and music lecturer, but a famous conductor as well!! The kids enjoyed learning about Leonard Bernstein and how versatile he was. We reviewed important music vocab like conductor, genre, overture, musical, and others. It was fun to see how passionate he was about bringing music to everyone with his Young People's Concerts. What a great last composer of the year!
