This course is a video-based, instructor-led course that teaches students critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency until emergency medical services arrives. This course uses AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills.

Ms. Sears is excited to offer a Jazz Workshop at Kinawa this spring! This jazz workshop will be for students currently enrolled in a 6th grade music class who want to explore and learn about the music style of jazz. Throughout the workshop, we will focus on the fundamentals of jazz music, including learning how to improvise and how to play swing music individually and as a group. This workshop meets for 4 weeks in April. The goal of this workshop is to give students an introduction to the world of jazz music, which is unlike anything they have experienced so far in school music classes. This workshop is designed for: any 6th grade band students, any 6th grade orchestra students who play string bass, and any 6th grade choir and orchestra students who take piano lessons. Please see the flyer for more details.
