Makes me imagine scenery and wildlife on a foreign land.

This can be connected to the concept of repetition in music.]]> 2018-01-30 08:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wynnefunghy/awkwq2te5u8i/wish/225972599 are they all keisha_tew https://padlet.com/wynnefunghy/awkwq2te5u8i/wish/225972678 why did they decide to use 4 sticks instead of 2 sticks?
