Join us for a creative summer journey inspired by Garden: A Musical Field Journal, Musica Sierra’s original children’s album celebrating the seasons of a garden and the cycles of life. In this hands-on class, students will explore nature journaling, poetry writing, and visual art while creating their own illustrated field journal based on a song from the album. Guided by teaching artist Monica Pang and Lindsay McIntosh, Juilliard alum and founder of Musica Sierra, young artists will deepen their connection to nature, music, and themselves through joyful exploration and artistic expression.
