Students demonstrate skills learned in projection, duple and triple meter music.
A group of Auten Road Intermediate School students performed "T-E-A-M," from the Broadway musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" at Monday's Board of Education meeting, showcasing the skills learned preparing for a musical presentation. According to ARIS music teacher Deborah Kurisko, the students learned six songs to perform.
