Futures In Tune

Last month South Africa challenged us to try out the Gumboots dance. They’re back this month with the steps to a traditional Zulu dance called Ukusina.
They’re break it down step by step so everyone can join in, no matter where you are.
Show us your moves and we’ll post more when our other FIT sites get the chance to try it out!

Laura is playing an accompaniment while students explore just the black keys.
She wants them to understand there’s so much beginners can do there, no lessons necessary!
Pretty quickly they learn they can make their own music and it actually sounds good.
Creating moments where kids feel safe to try new things and get creative without fear of “doing it wrong” is where confidence starts to grow.

Have a keyboard laying around? Try it for yourself and let us know how it goes in the comments!

We’re challenging you this time. Learn the steps, tag us in your video. Who’s next?

This is everything.
Kids are naturally musical beings, it’s already in them. When they’re given the chance to create their own songs, rhythms, and movement, they start to see that they’re not just learning music…they’re capable of making it. And staying true to Futures in Tune, they wanted to celebrate all the different ways we say hello. 👋🏼 😊

Music class today! Rhythm and movement are fun but also foundational.
The kids learned about notation, treble and bass clef.
By connecting play with practice they feel music before they can read it, leading to more confident, joyful learning!

When creativity takes the lead! Our Los Angeles, CA Futures in Tune students are putting their own spin on the choreography for our upcoming music video. Official shoots start next week! 👀
