Every day, BCS students learn through exploration, engage the community, and prepare for tomorrow. Our Week in Review brings you these stories of educational achievement and success in Buncombe County Schools.
Homemade Music: Billy Jonas at Avery's Creek
There were handmade shakers and bells taped to his feet when musician Billy Jonas stepped out to introduce himself at Avery's Creek Elementary this week. Whether he was banging on water bottles and buckets, strumming his guitar or dancing, the message of love, unity, and making music anywhere came through loud and clear.
“Did you put more love in the world today?” Billy sang while walking among the students.
He explained that his found-object approach lets students see “that they can make instruments and music with anything, anywhere, anytime, and with anyone.”
(This Post of the Week also includes a #BCSlive video clip of Billy's performance! Don't miss our full photo gallery and WLOS' coverage, as well.)
