Arts For All has announced the YouTube Premiere of Voice Power, written and performed by AFA Teaching Artist Darian Dauchan, on Monday, April 18 at 3:00pm ET.
During the premiere, children can follow along and interact with others via live chat as poet/musician Darian Dauchan guides young audiences on a vocal odyssey through rhymes, beat-boxing, and acapella melodies in search of one of civilization’s most valued treasures – the power of the voice!
