Species Songs

by Marko Polo Music

Species Songs

This STEAM powered problem solving program is great for elementary aged students who have an interest in music, animals, writing, and research. We will gather on Zoom. We will work together to research an animal, learn about song structure, explore poetic devices, and apply rhythms, and melodies to our lyrics. We will write and perform an original song. I can also produce the song with a video in my home studio for an additional fee to be arranged.
