“Strummin
and Drummin” Visits WHBLC for a Day of Fun
Strummin
and Drummin, the Long Island-based band specializing in fun and interactive
children’s music, paid a visit to Westhampton Beach Learning Center (WHBLC).
The audience quickly caught on to the band’s catchy lyrics and many students
were invited to the front of the room to sing with them. WHBLC Music Teacher
Mary Cummings even joined the musicians on her flute. For the grand finale,
dozens of students participated in a group percussion session on bongo-type
drums. WHBLC is an Eastern Suffolk BOCES school that provides special education
services. “Never underestimate the power of music,” explained Cummings. “As
soon as the band picked up their instruments, our students could not wait to
sing along and participate. This is one of their favorite events.”
