Introduction

Hello! My name is Arlene Kamuck and I am from St. Mary's, AK. I am a mother of 4 children, Cheyenne(22), Caleb(17), Anneliese(10) and Willie(9). I am married to my high school crush, Willie. As a family we love going out camping, fishing, berry picking and just being out in the country where it is peaceful. I currently work at the St. Mary's School District as the reading specialist. Being the reading specialist pushed me to further my education to become a Elementary teacher. I have been taking 1 or 2 classes per semester so I won't get so overwhelmed with work and homeschooling my children during this pandemic. My relationship to music: I enjoy listening to country and other music as well. I have never gone to a concert in my life nor have I played any instruments. Well, if you count a eskimo drum an instrument I have played that during our yup'ik class. It would be interesting to attend one.

    Good for you - going back to school!! I think your strategy of a few courses at a time is good. It is tough juggling home, work and school.

Musical Trip to Trinidad

  Calypso    The musical trip I decided to take was to Trinidad. I was amazed at how the steel drums sounded and the rhythm just made you want to dance. Overall it made me feel like I was relaxing on a beach during these stressful times everyone is going thru.  I chose calypso for the style of music which is Afro- Caribbean   music  that originated in  Trinidad  in the 17th century . It was brought to the Caribbean Island from Africa when they brought in slaves to work on the sugar plantations. The slaves were taken away from their homes and families. They weren't allowed to communicate with each other so they sang to communicate.  Politicians, journalists, and public figures often debated the content of each song, and many islanders considered these songs the most reliable news source. The way the slaves communicated on the plantations is awesome and putting it into music. When reading the articles on calypso music that was what caught my eye and wanted to use it for my musical tr
