Maria, having been shunned by nunnery as an annoying pest and a clown, gets introduced to a large family of underparented children as a private teacher. Instead of using traditional teaching methods, uses music, dance, theater and teaches them how to calm their emotions.

I think a lot about how there were actually 10 children, and the number seven a reflection of the solfège method of teaching music.I wanna relearn music theory from byzantine scholars.pa vu ga di ke zo nihttps://t.co/Yfa0cn5VUM
