Improve concentration and memory while socializing and having fun! Discover the Joy of Music with Parang Lessons Parang is a popular folk music originating from Trinidad and Tobago and is practiced throughout the Caribbean. It was brought to Trinidad by Venezuelan migrants who were primarily of Amerindian, Spanish, and African heritage, all reflected in the music itself. Parang is derived from two Spanish words: parranda, meaning "a spree or fete", and parar, meaning "to stop." Learn to play the ukulele, cuatro, guitar or selection of percussion instruments. From Clef Notes to Canvas An interactive and facilitated art session that takes emotion felt from songs to fuel creation on canvas. It's where creativity, music and awareness meet. This program is for adults. Painting experience is not required. Session facilitated by Omar ‘Oms’ Hopkinson, a member of Arts Milton Board of Directors. For more information, click here.
