Students in grades 3-6 are invited to register for a unique opportunity to participate in a Music Appreciation class. The six-session class, taught by Dr. Kathleen Lavengood of the Community School of the Arts, and hosted by the Youth Services Department of the Fort Smith Public Library, will explore the classical symphony, classical composers, and a brief history of Western classical music.
