Derek Newell - Orff Instructor

Congratulations RSA students on another 1st place trophy in the Lighted Christmas Parade. Both students and parents pulled together to make an amazing float and some amazing mulicultural Christmas trees. It was a lot of fun and I appreciate your hard work and time!

Here are a few links to last years Asian Concert:

I hope all of you had a great summer! I am very excited to get the new year started with all of you. A special welcome to all of the students that are new to RSA. This year in music my class will start with games, dances, and songs from the following cultures/subjects: Californian Native Americans, Californian Chinese Americans, Californian Mexican Americans, and the California Gold Rush. I look forward to seeing all of you very soon!
