 As part of the Classical Minnesota Public Radio's Class Notes Artist Program, students get the chance to watch and learn from musicians. At Buggonegashig School, students were lucky to put on quite a show. Hedy Clodder has the story. The sweet sounds of a violin made its way to Buggonegashig School. As students from all grades watched Gayle Lee put on a show. I want to continue to talk about including kids in the arts and people with disabilities in the arts and just not making any barriers. Lee, a Duluth native, was born with the brittle bone disease, but that doesn't stop her from doing what she loves. She won a contest out of 6,000 contestants and performs classic and original songs around the country. Little kids and older ones actually, they really do tell you how they feel and so sometimes it surprises you, their reactions to certain songs. I think you have to work hard to make sure you're being present and performing in the same way that you would for adults. After listening to Gayle and sing and play, students treated her to a special drum and dance performance. Siblings Camila and Anthony Greyhawk performed a traditional dance from the Ojibwe culture that represented with the bells on the jingle dress to the grass dance costume. At the end, everyone danced together. When you do grass dance, you're beating down the grass that is really high and like making a circle, so the jingle dress and the other people can dance. Students are required to be in music class, but curriculum is part of each visit. The mini concert allows students to be up close and personal with each artist and see how they perform. Minnesota Public Radio goes around the state supporting Minnesota artists and bringing them to schools wherever people want us. You can do anything, even if you're small or big or whatever. In this particular session, students walked away with more than just music. Inbina, Haiti Clutter, Lakeland News. Performances will continue throughout the week.
