P: Thank you. I've seen it in the PBS listings but didn't get to watch
and lately I've seen it here. I had thought it might be in the "Suzuki"
or "Orff" category but really had no clue. It took me a long time to
find out "Kodaly", too. This was the quickest info. I'll be on the look
out to expand my horizons. It sounds like fun!
Thanks again.
