Here are two classrooms, the older students in the first picture and the younger ones in the second. They study 8-11 a.m. and then again from 2-5 p.m. After lunch is siesta time because of the heat.They learn music theory (what the notes mean), how to play the keyboard, and how to conduct. They each take tests every week. At the end of the year, the top students are asked to return for another year of music school. At home there would be not much to do, so being here brings them not only a place to learn, but friendships and, not unimportant, three healthy meals a day. In addition, there is a nurse on campus who tends to their health.
Watching sister run conducting class is fascinating. Here they are working on 3/4 time.
