Session report
Improved creative and musical skills (highlights of the session)
'YM 1' had remembered the song which had been taught to him last time on the keyboard. 'YM 2' learned to play twinkle twinkle by reading the notes and using marked keys on keyboard which had never been done before. 'Ym 1' and 'YM 3' Sang Sapce Oddity very well singing different vocal parts accompanied by music leader playing keys.
Improved social & emotional skills (highlights of the session)
Every body is now understanding within the group to take turns and most are respecting each other when playing. 'YM 4' is being very helpful and patient to younger musicians. 'YM 3' and 'YM 5' are now sharing and making friends. 'YM 6' did struggle a little today but found his place dishing up and arranging snacks and was really helpful with that.
