About this event

This high-energy workshop will empower students to dive into the exciting world of musical theatre by creating their very own original song from start to finish (or close to it)! The class will kick off with some creative brainstorming as students gather inspiration from objects around the room or pull surprise prompt words out of a hat. From there, imaginations take center stage as they dream up characters, stories, and big musical moments. As a group, they will collaborate to write lyrics that bring a character’s voice to life—funny, dramatic, heartfelt, or anything in between. Then, with the help of a pianist, they will transform those lyrics into a fully realized song, experimenting with melody, mood, and musical style. Students can even explore the piano and the EastWest digital sound library to build their own unique accompaniment. Prior musical experience is not required! All children are invited to play, experiment, and make something unforgettable together.

Chess I (Spring 2026)

The Brooklyn Waldorf School · Bedford-Stuyvesant

In Chess, students will develop long-term strategic thinking and shorter-term tactical motifs. Beginners will start with non-chess games that build foundational skills, while more experienced players will dive into advanced-beginner techniques and strategic thinking from the start. The measure of success for the class will be an encouraged state of curiosity around chess, such that children will take their desire to play from the classroom into their everyday lives.
