Welcome to Music!
I am very excited to get started teaching elementary music with your students! This year, I'll be teaching 3rd and 4th grade General Music. I will also be co- teaching 3rd and 4th grade Band.
Elementary General Music allows students to develop musical elements such as rhythm, melody, harmony, structure, timbre, and musical expression. It is a time for exploration and self discovery, practice fine motor skills, promote self confidence, and build community in the school. In this classroom, we (students and teachers) all experience music through singing, playing, dancing, listening and creating. Most importantly, I hope to make music learning a joyful experience for all children.
Our band program allows the students to develop the basic elements of music playing skills, and introduction to band literature. Most beginning band students are learning to play their first musical instrument. No experience is necessary – only the will and desire to play an instrument.
I look forward to a great year of music making!
