Exploring Culture Through Rhythm

Last week at Saklan, students in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades had an exciting and enriching opportunity to dive deeper into music and culture with a special guest teacher, Vodzi. A PhD student in Ethnomusicology, Vodzi brought a wealth of knowledge, personal experience, and vibrant energy to campus.

Raised in Ghana, Vodzi plays a key role in his community as an indigenous knowledge keeper, music director, and performer. His visit gave students a meaningful connection to the cultural traditions behind the dances they have been learning with Isaac during African Drumming Classes.

A big thank you to Vodzi for sharing his passion and heritage with our students.
