Musical May

The museum’s alive with the sound of music. Join us this month as we learn all about music. Each week in May will have a different music lesson, culminating in a dance party at the end. This week, we practice learning different note rhythms, and note places in treble clef. Finish up this lesson by practicing what you’ve learned on the handbells upstairs in our classroom.

Such a wonderful way to learn history! Everyone who worked and volunteered at Brattonsville was patient, kind, and answered all of the kids’ questions. We look forward to going back soon!
