À mesure que défilent les notes, on joue à deviner, avec Jean et Érika qui discutent et chantent joyeusement, les instruments qui se cachent derrière chaque son et on apprend à reconnaître les hauteurs et autres rythmes.

There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school—you can’t fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Malú (María Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School’s queen bee, violates the school’s dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself.
