Redwood brought its usual high-energy exuberance to our session this week. We made sure to get a lot of movement into our class, so we tried out as many dancing, clapping, and jumping songs as we could. We let that feeling carry over into our instrument, the caxixi, where we had the players shake the instruments while the rest of us were shaking our bodies. We ended our time together with an extra special song, because we had a birthday in the room! I was so honoured to be able to play for our friend as they blew out the candles on the cake.
