Hunting Season has begun in Michigan!
Many of our Kids Commute families will be out in search of a buck for the next little while, so it's Hunting Horn Week!
Hunting has been a popular sport for centuries, and the horn is featured in many hunting-related compositions.
This week we'll learn about hunting horn calls, and then hear them put to action in music!
We'll have a horn-related Quizlet for you, too!
Tune in Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 pm. or listen any time at the links below.
