Blues in the Schools is coming to the Louis Braille School on January 25 from 11 am to noon
Blues in the Schools is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational music programs for schools. Blues in the Schools hires musicians to teach the history of the Blues, a musical art form that originated in Africa, to young students and teach them to play musical instruments.
Blues in the Schools musicians will be at the Louis Braille School on Thursday, January 25, to present a special program for our students. Music will be explored in a hands on setting with the children actively participating in the creation of music and songs.
