Musical Journey with Antonio Eyez
Our monthly session at The Lyric was a music session with musician Antonio Eyez. Antonio shared about his musical journey growing up in a musical family to becoming a professional musician. He shared his inspirations including Jimi Hendrix and Prince and asked the students about who inspires them. The students did entries in their journals expressing their reactions to what's troubling them and then several read their words to Antonio's musical accompaniment. In the second part of the session, Lyric Education Specialist Ebony Evans had the students break into groups, grab costumes and produce a musical video skit. Everyone had a terrific time unleashing their creativity and learning from Antonio. Our appreciation to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and The Lyric for providing so many opportunities for our students over the years. A special thanks to Antonio Eyez for accompanying us on so many of these sessions, but especially for the musical journey he took us on today. ...
