• Dungeons and Dragons

  Are you a lover of adventure, acting, or storytelling? Do you consider yourself a master puzzle solver or love solving mysteries with your friends? You should join Nardin’s Dungeons and Dragons Club! In this club, students will play the roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons, and at the same time, work on building problem solving, leadership, and teamwork skills in a fun and creative way. Students will create their own characters, and work as a group to create and complete an adventure. All students who would like a turn to lead will be encouraged and supported in crafting a fun adventure campaign. The Dungeons and Dragons club invites both D&D newbies and experts to participate and have fun!

• Fine Arts - Independent Art Study

  This elective will provide students who have an interest in art, the opportunity to explore beyond what is offered in the curriculum. This six week session will specifically use a variety of mediums and materials (pen & ink, acrylic paints, watercolor paints, modeling clay - to name a few). The instructor will guide each club member on an independent journey, depending on their interests. They may work on one piece of artwork or six pieces during the duration of time, depending upon the complexity of the project(s). No experience necessary!

• Rock Band - The focus is having fun playing music!

  The Rock Band program is open to musicians of all levels (including no prior experience) for electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, keys and vocals (and possibly more instruments!). We take a fun approach to sharpen skill, learn theory, and put together a band with direction for arrangement, performance, and building comfort playing as a group. Songs learned include rock, pop, hip hop and suggested songs from students.

  
  

  Lessons are taught by Nardin Parent Bean Friend, who has played for 20 years as a professional musician and has taught music for 17 years. Questions can be directed to Bean at: moonrockmusicbuffalo@gmail.com
