GATE program for gifted students: recordings by CSMA Hi everyone in blogger land. Daniel Wood here. I teach some classes in digital arts at CSMA. Below is a group of recordings done when I was teaching at Crittenden Middle School last week (June 3) as part of the district wide GATE program for gifted and talented students in the local middle schools. We had two classes that day and each class formed smaller groups that composed the following pieces using drums from around the world.

John Neves (faculty member at CSMA) and I had a lot of fun providing the students with an outlet for their creativity. We look forward to doing it again some time.

  the summer flies by It's been a hectic summer here at CSMA. So hectic, in fact, we haven't had time to update the blog in quite some time! There have been summer camps, field trips, hopeful American Idols training, and lots more. Our fall-semester resolution is to keep this blog updated more thoroughly with lots of new content, and a new design as well. Stay tuned, there are exciting things on the horizon!
