Hi blog followers--
We have adopted a new phrase around here... "well, why don't you blog about it?" Mainly, it's pertaining to things completely unrelated to this blog, but it's totally catchy. In particular, Mariza loves to pour cups of water on us at the beach and say, "blog about it, blog about it." It makes us smile! :)
I'm feeling a little sun-zapped right now. I definitely think today was our best day in the sun (although we've been fortunate to have nice weather the whole time we've been here). We spent our afternoon on the beach, as per usual, and practiced some music while floating in the water.
After the beach, we were quite busy planning for our final performance tomorrow. Mariza, Jeniris, and I are planning a mini in-service on music therapy for the parents. The kids while then be performing a series of songs that we've prepared with them over the week.
Today we also went to a recording studio and learned about traditional Caymanian music from the local band Swanky. It was AMAZING. We jammed with them, learned about the musical history of the island, and Ranjana totally rocked the guitar in the key of F. Samuel, the band's leader, was a really amazing and interesting man, who also really believes in the power of music therapy. It is really inspiring to see the different ways people use music to build a community.
Seneca's improving guitar right now and Channing and Ranjana are doing some vocal improv on "Ain't No Sunshine." I have to say, the music around here never stops, and I love it. :)
