Today, Deacon Rick and Jenny enjoyed another in a series of days off. In their place you were joined by Mary Pometto, production Director of KWKY and Jon Leonetti, host of Martyrs of the Third Millennium. Today Jon and Mary spoke with Aaron Stryzeski, a Music Teacher at St. Joseph's Indian School in South Dakota.
St. Joseph's Indian School is a private boarding school for Native Ameircans with troubled backgrounds. They're found in Chaimberlain, South Dakota and are run solely on donations. They're celebrating their 80th anniversary this year. The school was founded by the Priests of the Sacred Heart who had a burden for the Native American culture and wanted to give back to them. One of the first things they did was start the St. Joseph Indian Schol.
Aaron is one of the music teachers at St. Joseph's and shared with us a song that his 8th grade class wrote, performed, recorded, edited and mastered. The students had only been playing their instruments for five months. Aaron offers his students hands on experience, hoping that they will truly grip into what he's teaching them, finding their particular strengths. He offers lessons on fourteen different instruments including Lakota Drums. Aaron hopes through his program to teach kids to love music and for ability to be a bi-product of that love.
