Keyboard Classes
Online Classes are an inexpensive,
introduction to Piano Keyboard for Children
On his way to perform at a rock concert, clueless urbanite Skeeter gets lost in a rock garden, where he stumbles into a talking rock and an empathetic, singing butterfly named Empathina. City smog has caused a dreadful drought, and Skeeter must befriend the Garden Groms (the audience) to help bring the rain. By teaching them how to sing, dance, and drum they learn how to speak the language of nature as Skeeter learns to appreciate the garden.
A fun, interactive, ROCK Operetta about saving the environment together.
Running time 35 minutes with optional Q&A session with the audience afterwards.
We are also always hosting Music and Drama classes at elemen-
tary schools in and around Toronto... come check it out if you
would like to BE the show instead of SEE the show!
