Last week at Taylor Mountain, CalSERVES’ very own Kara Shelton (Literacy Tutoring Team Leader from Wright) stopped by to share her musical expertise with our 5th and 6th grade After School classes. As Kara performed her Irish fiddle and classical Bach pieces on her violin, the students’ excitement and pleasure brought about by this new musical experience became apparent on their faces; the usually fidgety boys and girls, enraptured by the music Kara was creating, sat completely still and focused.
For the mentor team, it was moving to just sit and watch the students’ joy at hearing the beautiful sounds of the violin. At the close of each piece everybody burst into applause and there was a slew of great questions about the music and the violin in general.
Thank you Kara and Wright for giving us your time and this wonderful experience!!
