Music ProgramKari Kovick - kari@bluemountainschool.net"It is better to build children than to repair adults." This sentiment reflects my beliefs and my interests. My background is in psychology and the healing arts, yet music has become my medium, and children are my inspiration. Sharing positive musical experiences with them helps me to feel that I am building a better world, and supporting the natural core of a person with love and shared fun, when it can make the most difference. I believe in hands-on learning, and use songs that encourage self-esteem, tolerance, peacefulness, and a love of life. Fine Art Program
