REGISTER FOR SPRING SESSION

Sea Turtle Collection


Sea Turtle draws inspiration from Malaysia, Lebanon, and other regions of the world, with drumming patterns adapted from Turkish rhythms used for dancing. Three NEW songs are included this semester! The sea turtle’s ability to swim as far as 10,000 nautical miles–yet always return home–inspired “Turtle Back Home.” “Wau Bulan,” a Malaysian folk song, describes the beauty of the Malaysian traditional kite (wau), with a rounded bottom shaped like a half moon (bulan), as it flies up high in the sky. “Ala Dal'Ona” is a well-known traditional Lebanese dabke, a style of dance typical in Levant countries such as Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Children will delight in imaginative play, drumming, and dancing with this rich, eclectic collection of songs and chants. Tuition includes our Sea Turtle Collection recording, songbook, and access to drumming videos with Rhythm Kids creator Tom Foote.
